The following article can be found in Italian at
several Web sites (such as: http://antimassoneria.altervista.org/).
Since I could not find it in English, perhaps because it is so recent
(August 24, 2015), I have translated it into English. These are the
future objectives of the Freemasonry in Italy. I am sure these
objectives are very similar for other countries around the world.

The text below, an exceptional document, was spread by Yusef Maryam
from an anonymous source (the Masons make an oath of secrecy) and it
tells of all the projects that Masonry has in store for the future,
many points have already been realized, many others are under
discussion.

-
- -

Expropriation of second
homes, give for free the use of these houses to undocumented
foreigners and to nomadic people, in addition to the social housing
that already exists.

Closure of CIE (Internment Centers for Foreigners) and total opening
of the borders.

Equalization
in everything and for everyone of unions and unmarried couples with
those of married regularly.

Right to marriage for gay couples, lesbians, trans and bisexual.

Total
liberalization of abortion, possible also posthumously up to the 18th
month of the child's life.

Removal of all religious and sacred symbols from every public place,
including the crucifix, which will not be able to be even worn around
the neck, abolition of teaching of religion in schools.

Indexing of the Bible, as offensive and discriminatory for
non-Christians, homosexuals, prostitutes and various other categories
of people, as well as a ban on Christian evangelization, to be put on
par with fundamentalism and religious fundamentalism.

Access to: assisted heterologous procreation for any couple, also for
heterosexual, the trade of wombs for rent, semen, fertilized egg
cells, also in vitro, human embryos.

Legalization of euthanasia and the creation of a maximum age of life,
and a limit on the medical costs of maintenance for the elderly,
terminally ill dependents, beyond which you can arrange for
government euthanasia.

End of the concept of national citizenship and transition to the
concept of apolidism (statelessness, stateless people).

Repeal
of the social pension and unemployment benefits, of bank guarantee of
deposits and non fallibility of banks and government agencies, states
and nations.

Imposition on every church and religion, the duty to celebrate
homosexual weddings, lesbians, incest, trans, bisexual also
polygamous.

Abolition
of baptism to minors or to people in any case not consenting. Limited
numbers in high schools and universities.

Imposition, as already takes place in China, the maximum number of
one child for each couple.

Imposition
of the insertion of a subcutaneous chip.

The end of the circulation of paper money (global control and
microchips under the skin).

Prohibition
of food production for their own consumption and G.A.S (Group
Acquisition of food).

Imposition of biologically modified cultures (GMOs).

Repeal
of the food chain control.

Prohibition of possession of weapons for civilians who are not
policemen.

Dissolution
of the branch of the Carabinieri (national military police) and
subjugation of the police forces to European Eurogendfor (European
police) and the Italian Army to that of the EU.

Processability of Italian citizens, even outside the Italian justice,
thus the possibility of extradition for processes in other foreign
countries, no more rights for the natural judge.

Loss of all rights of citizenship.

In
the case of a birth of a second child in heterosexual couples
(prohibited by law) you can proceed to abortion imposed by law, or
alternatively, the removal of the child for adoption to gay couples,
trans, bisexual or lesbian.

The legal adult age will be set at 16 years, and the possibility for
recognition of an autonomous sexuality at 12 years.

Introduction
of a homophobia law that punishes anyone who is contrary to any
sexual orientation that deviates from the heterosexual.

Parental rights can be taken away from the natural parents, at the
request of a judge, for reasons of public interest.

The
local health authorities will have to take charge of the home service
for sexual needs, through sexual operators hired for this purpose by
the Central Government Community.

The national gold reserves will be allocated to the EU and managed by
the Council of Europe and the ECB (European Central Bank).

The following was an email sent to
those on my emailing list in July of 2012:

Dear Friends,

Have a good and fruitful
summer as we wait to loose our religious freedoms precisely in the
"Land of the Free"!

When people ask me
what we can do, I often respond very simply: "Obey your Mother"!
Our heavenly Mother at Fatima, who knows
much better than us what is best for us and for the world, told us
almost one hundred years ago: "Pray very much, especially the
Holy Rosary, and make many sacrifices!" When so few pray, the
forces of evil have tremendous power, above all to brainwash us and
to lead us gently, without waking us up spiritually, toward the
infernal and eternal abyss (Diary of Saint Faustina, 153, 741).

To explain simply,
as well as to avoid the typical elusive argumentation which covers up
the true motive of so many who are fleeing from God (even though they
believe they will go to heaven if they still believe that such a
place exists), I tell people that if they want to make it to heaven,
they must seek the Truth (big “T”) in a difficult and confusing
world, especially listening the Vicar of Christ on earth, the Pope;
then live this Truth with God's help, so that they can spend eternity
with the Truth, who is God. Most people today do not even take the
first step of seeking the Truth which is inconvenient because it
bothers our almost dead consciences indicating to us that we must
change our lives and suffer. Most people choose the easy way of
convincing themselves that there is no eternity after death and thus
they freely choose to lower themselves even below the level of
animals with a mortal soul, thus thinking that they have no
responsibility for their great God-given dignity and great
responsibility. When they die, after fleeing the Truth all of their
lives, God, out of true love, will respect and confirm their choice,
and they will go to the place where there is no Truth, no God for all
eternity! The Catechism of the Catholic
Church (CCC 1035) as well as the saints clearly tell us that the
greatest pain in hell, more than all other pains put together, is the
total and absolute and eternal separation of the creature from its
Creator, Who is the TRUTH!

I am amazed at how
many priests that I know, when I begin explaining in an
understandable way how we have fallen very deeply into relativism, in
particular by accommodating the people by dismissing Humanae Vitae or
cohabitation as well as ignoring the directives of the Popes to
maintain great reverence and humility before the Most Blessed
Sacrament (e.g., Memoriale Domini, etc.), immediately react
negatively or in an argumentative way or even worse with apathy. How
few are seeking the Truth by asking questions about where I found
this information from the documents of the Church or from the
writings of the Popes. Few priests I know want to go forward everyday
in seeking the Truth together, in open and sincere dialogue, with the
willingness to change our lives in accordance with the great treasure
of each piece of Truth that God offers to each of us, often by way of
other well-intentioned people. I understand more and more why Pope
John Paul II, when asked to offer one verse from the Bible for the
People of God, replied without hesitation: “The Truth will make you
free!” (Jn 8:32). Most people today trust themselves rather than
trusting the One Who created them and loves them more than they love
themselves, and thus God's hands are tied due to His respect for our
free will. So many do not meditate regularly on the Passion of Christ
to slowly penetrate and discover the true nature of love as well as
to embrace the only path to heaven: Calvary, the passion of Christ in
our own personal lives! No pain no gain; no cross no crown. So many
Christians listen to the world, guided by
Satan, which says, at least to Christians, God is love and merciful,
which is true, but does not tell them that if one does not seek to
live the 10 Commandments all their lives with God's help according to
God's revealed interpretation of the 10 Commandments, God will
respect their choice for all eternity! Satan tells Christians not to
worry because God pardons, but he does not tell us that we must ask
for pardon sincerely and humbly (as well as pardoning others as we
say in the “Our Father”) as expressed in the “Act of
Contrition” prayer, in order to be able to receive pardon! Let us
pray for the very numerous so-called “Christians” who have
swallowed the convenient lies of Satan and believe they can arrive to
Easter without passing through Good Friday, that they can arrive to
the Resurrection without passing through the crucifixion with our
loving Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

The follow was a
response (July 4, 2012), sent by a person on my emailing list, to the
above email:

Father,

Everything you write is orthodox;
however, recently the Pope praised the heretic, Martin Luther, as
always being Cristo centric in everything he did. He did so
when speaking to the German Lutheran leaders. Now either all of
the books written by very holy priests, lay persons, and even
Protestants that I have read are lies, or the Pope was wrong in
saying what he did. I believe that we have to be discerning in
what we accept that comes from the mouth of the Pope. Pope John
Paul allowed a Hindi Priestess to bless him, and he kissed the
Koran. He also praised Nelson Mandella who was responsible for
the butchering of many in South Africa! I believe those actions
were scandalous and stretched ecumenism way out of bounds.
These things deeply trouble my soul.

I would appreciate your reply to my
comments.

God bless, yours in Their Hearts,

The following was my response to the
above email sent to me on July 4, 2012:

Dear...,

Thank you for your email.

May I first say, as we well know, WE
ARE TRULY LIVING IN DIFFICULT AND EXTRAORDINARY TIMES. It is not easy
in any sense of the word. We are being pushed and tempted from all
sides and in all directions and with the most sophisticated
strategies and tactics ever deployed for the manipulation of our
minds. This is due to the fact that very few people are praying today
and trying to do God’s will with God’s help; thus the Godless
secularists have taken control of the motors of the culture: the mass
media, the schools and most religious institutions. But when we look
at the history of the Body of Christ, the Church, in the last 2000
years, there were not too many periods of relative calm. Look how
many people abandoned Jesus Christ during His lifetime and especially
at the end of His life, during His passion. I believe that the Body
of Christ is now passing through the passion, and very soon will
enter into the crucifixion when the great majority of so-called
“Christians” will flee and readily deny Christ. Even the true and
loyal Christians will cry out like their Savior 2000 years ago on the
cross: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me!” It will seem
that the forces of evil have totally won and it will seem like the
“dark night” of the soul for the whole Church! As Christ suffered
three hours on the cross, I believe that this dark night of the
Church, this crucifixion of the Body of Christ, will last about three
years, and perhaps will begin when the prophecy of Hildegard
regarding the false pope is fulfilled.

It is interesting that HILDEGARD of
BINGEN (d. 1179) wrote that when the new Pope is elected immediately
before the Antichrist, a cardinal will kill the elected pope before
he is crowned through jealousy, he wishing to be Pope himself. Then
when the other cardinals elect the next Pope this cardinal will
proclaim himself (anti) Pope, and two-thirds of the Christians will
go with him. She notes that this Antipope as well as the Antichrist
are descended from the tribe of Dan. If this private revelation of
Hildegard turns out to be true, is it possible that this Antipope,
who will appear “IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE ANTICHRIST”, might be the
FALSE PROPHET predicted in the book of Revelation (Rev 16:13; 20:10;
chap. 13 etc.) who will work hand in hand with the first "beast",
the Antichrist, to subdue the world, leading as many as possible to
deny Jesus Christ and to adore the Antichrist?

It seems that POPE BENEDICT IS
ENCOURAGING US TO READ THE WRITINGS AND PROPHECIES OF THIS HOLY WOMAN
AND MYSTIC by canonizing her and proclaiming her a doctor of the
Church this year.

But we cannot abandon the ship if we
want to save our immortal souls! Remember THE DREAM OF ST. JOHN
BOSCO, with a ship (the Church) in the middle of a great storm, with
the Pope at the helm, being attacked by many small ships from all
sides, being guided between the two pillars with the Eucharist and
Mary at the top of the two pillars.
(http://thereedofgod.blogspot.com/2010/04/don-boscos-prophecy-of-two-columns.html).

THERE IS ALWAYS THE TEMPTATION TO PUT
OURSELVES ABOVE OUR LAWFUL SUPERIORS or to put ourselves in the place
of superiors, especially in these times when so many bishops and
priests have betrayed us and led so many astray.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS
DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE OBJECTIVE AND THE SUBJECTIVE. It is necessary
to judge objectively the bad actions of other people in order not to
do the same and to warn the persons that we are responsible for
whether we be parents, priest or bishops. But subjectively we do not
know the intentions, motives, thoughts, personal history or the
graces that the other people have received; only God knows this.
Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote: “Rarely affirm, seldom deny, always
distinguish.” If a priest or bishop does not obey the Church and
the Pope, let us hope that they are invincibly ignorant, even though
they may cause considerable damage to immortal souls! Saint Ignatius
of Antioch tells us THAT NOT ONLY THOSE WHO GIVE SCANDAL WILL GO TO
HELL BUT ALSO THOSE WHO FOLLOW THEM. “Even in the world, defilement
of this kind is punishable with death; how much more when a man’s
subversive doctrines defile the God-given faith for which Jesus
Christ was crucified. Such a wretch in his uncleanness is bound for
the unquenchable fire, and so is anyone else who gives him a hearing”
(Breviary; 2 OT, Monday).

I once told my parishioners that if
sometime in the future I begin to loose the faith and to preach in
opposition to what the Pope teaches on faith and morals, “DO NOT
FOLLOW ME TO HELL”! “But even if we, or an angel from heaven,
should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to
you, let him be accursed” (Gal 1:8). We must pray very much for the
first targets of Satan, those who received more responsibility in
this “dour combat” (CCC 409), as Our Lady asks us often: PRAY FOR
THE POPE, BISHOPS AND THE PRIESTS! Just as a mother cannot substitute
for the role or the vocation of the father and vise versa, so too the
lay people cannot substitute for the priests and the bishops but can
pray and offer sacrifices for them as Our Lady asks frequently!

I HOLD ON TO THE PROMISE OF CHRIST IN
MATTHEW confirmed by the Church: “You are Peter and upon this rock
I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail” (Mt
16:18).

FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO THERE WERE MANY
SINNERS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH which caused the Protestant
Reformation; today there are many sinners in the Church which cause
many to leave the Church. A good husband does not abandon his wife
when she becomes old and not pretty. If Satan cannot get you on the
extreme side of the liberals, he will try to get you on the other
extreme which is even worse. As said above, one can jump out of the
Divine Ship, the Church, either on the left side with the liberals or
on the right side with the schismatic traditionalists. My father
used to say to Protestants: “I’d rather have an ugly box with a
diamond inside than a beautiful box that is empty inside.” He was
referring to the fact that the Catholic Church has all seven
sacraments. Schismatic traditionalists try to find a group that is
“as holy” as they are!?! It is Jesus, the Son of God, Who decided
to found His Church on 12 sinners instead of 12 perfect angels from
heaven! Who is more intelligent and full of wisdom, God or us? Many
follow the mass media today in criticizing the Church and the priests
and the bishops. I asked one of these puppets of the propaganda of
the mass media who continually criticizes Catholic clergy instead of
praying for them: “Would it have been better if Jesus Christ had
founded the Church on 12 perfect men as yourself, Sir?

My father also said to protestant
friends that they believe that Jesus Christ, as the Son of God, was
unable to found a Church that would last until the end of time and
thus God needed Martin Luther, King Henry VIII, etc. Schismatic
traditionalists are doing the exact same thing! JESUS KNEW FULL WELL
THAT THERE WOULD BE THOUSANDS AND MILLIONS OF OPINIONS ABOUT THE
TRUTH and about the road to salvation and about the interpretation of
Sacred Scripture even among sincere Christians; that is why He left
us the Rock (Mt 16:18) for those who would have the humility to
accept and follow the teachings of the Church with the Pope as the
head.

Even though my father, with his Jesuit
training, argued with his protestant acquaintances and he himself
never left the Church as my sister did, he did not seek to follow
Jesus meek and humble of heart and thus slowly put himself above all
authority on earth. ONE TIME WHEN MY FATHER WAS STRONGLY CRITICIZING
POPE JOHN PAUL II because he did not do as my father thought he
should do, I commented to him, when he provoked my response, that I
do not presume to believe that I know more than the Pope who sees the
whole world and Church situation better than me and that he is
specially guided by the Holy Spirit as Jesus promised. Needless to
say my father was not very happy with my response! Unfortunately my
father did not lead his family toward trust in Holy Mother Church and
thus my sister as well as my mother, after the death of my father,
left the Church.

I am not a theologian and I have not
read or studied most of the writings of Martin Luther, but I am fully
confident in what Pope Benedict said is true and I AM ALSO FULLY
CONFIDENT THAT HE SAID WHAT WAS NEEDED TO BE SAID AND NO MORE
ACCORDING TO THE VIRTUE OF PRUDENCE which must govern all the other
virtues. The Pope wants to lead as many
protestants as possible toward the fullness of the truth and
sanctification while minimizing words that would cause people to go
away from the truth, unless prudently necessary. He offered
positive affirmations but in the circumstances of a particular
meeting it is usually more prudent to not go down a list of all of
the disagreements until there is the possibility to spend time
together giving first a true Christian example of virtue so as to
first and foremost lead by example those of good will. Then slowly
one can begin to approach the differences if there is the openness
and good will to go forward waiting patiently for the questions to be
asked. This method is also the prudent way to go in human relations
even in families or among friends. If someone goes around only
criticizing and hammering the truth without this preparation of a
good virtuous example, who will listen to such a person? Where is the
example to follow? Certainly the documents of the Church must offer
the fullness of the truth, but even here a non Catholic is free to
read these documents or not; the same is true for articles on the Web
open to the general reading audience. The Pope’s main goal is to
lead souls to Christ: sometimes this means to affirm the positive,
and sometimes it means to point out the negative and the points of
disagreement, depending on who he is talking to as well as others who
will be able to listen to or read what he says.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen once said:
“There are not over a hundred people … who
hate the Roman Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who HATE
WHAT THEY WRONGLY BELIEVE TO BE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.”

ECUMENICAL DIALOGUE IS JUST THAT, A
DIALOGUE, the building of a relationship so as to share and seek the
truth together. If one feels he has a monopoly on all truth or an
attitude that he knows more than the others as is often found in the
sects, then we are dealing not with a dialogue but with a monologue.
Ecumenical Monologue! Certainly the Church has the “fullness of the
truth”, but the truth must be offered with prudence, patience and
love while waiting with patience for others to correspond with God’s
graces and move toward the truth. The person offering the truth must
realize that he too is a sinner and must continue to seek and live
the truth until he dies.

MANY PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO DIALOGUE
WITH THOSE WHO DO NOT AGREE WITH THEM. They do not want to take the
risk of discovering something that might not be how they want things
to be and it might put their self-formed consciences in crisis and
might challenge them to possibly suffer and to change their lives.

THERE IS OFTEN THE LACK OF
DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN THE SIN AND THE SINNER. The Church loves the
sinner but hates the sin. Many accuse the Church of hating the
homosexuals because many do not make the distinction that the Church,
as does Christ, loves the person with homosexual tendencies but hates
the act of homosexuality. The Pharisees and Scribes were scandalized
because Christ sought to help the publicans, tax collectors and
prostitutes; but Christ did say to the prostitute “go and sin no
more.” (Jn 8:11). So too many schismatic traditionalists are
scandalized because the Second Vatican Council teaches the importance
of an honest desire to acknowledge and appreciate the true and the
good in other non-Catholic Christians both as individuals and as
collective bodies, “particular Churches”

“The sole Church of Christ” …
“constituted and organized as a society in the present world,
SUBSISTS IN the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor
of Peter and by the bishops in communion with him. Nevertheless,
many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside its
visible confines. Since these are gifts belonging to the Church of
Christ, they are forces impelling towards Catholic unity” (LG 8)
(see also UR 3).

MANY SCHISMATIC TRADITIONALISTS SAY:
“WELL WHAT’S THE USE OF BECOMING A CATHOLIC IF THE OTHER
“CHURCHES” ARE RECOGNIZED CHURCHES?” In the Catholic Church one
can truly point to one place to find the fullness of truth of Divine
Revelation and saving "elements of sanctification" (LG 8)
by which the faithful may be configured to Christ. It took several
centuries even for the Catholic Church to overcome an anti-protestant
self identification after the Council of Trent. With the Second
Vatican Council the Catholic Church made great strides in overcoming
this immature negative self identification. True ecumenism also
includes the desire and honesty to acknowledge and appreciate the
true and the good in other churches and groups, instead of only
concentrating on our differences, as many members of the Church
tended to do in the past. VCII was a call to the Church to
rediscover her calling to serve as the humble servant of Christ to
help all those “of the truth” (Jn 18:37)
to make it to heaven; many traditionalists still need this negative,
anti-protestant and anti-sinner mentality in order to self-identify
themselves. The Church, while still asserting that "the one and
only Church of Christ is the Roman Catholic Church”, added the
significant admission that "MANY ELEMENTS OF SANCTIFICATION CAN
BE FOUND OUTSIDE THE CHURCH’S TOTAL STRUCTURE," and that these
are "things properly belonging to the Church of Christ” (LG
8). Often many people need a common enemy (“heretics” or
sinners) to be motivated and unified or to maintain their enthusiasm,
or to be reinforced in their own (insecure?!) self identification.
The lack of enemies tends to disrupt the homeostasis of the group.
Sometimes people form a type of comparative self religion in which
they feel more holy if they compare themselves with others that they
condemn or at least judge as less holy than themselves. Almost
invariably the schismatic traditionalists tend to criticize all those
not in their group so that they feel holy and better than the others,
instead of comparing themselves only with Jesus Christ. It is so
easy and such a strong human temptation and tendency to seek to
observe and dwell on the faults and abuses of a lawful superior.
After dwelling on these so-called faults and abuses of bishops and
priests over a period of time along with listening to and hearing
support from our agreeable peers and (busy-body?) 'friends', is it
any wonder that when we receive a hard and disagreeable command from
this superior that we are able to easily disregard and subjectively
justify disobedience to such a command? It is interesting that just
about all the schismatic traditionalists do not like the fact that
the Church now loves and prays with sinners and non-Catholics. Was
this not the same reaction of the Pharisees and Scribes when Jesus
loved and ate with sinners and non-Jews? Christ said to Pilate:
“Every one who is of the truth hears my voice” (Jn 18:37). People
“of the truth” are not found only in the Catholic Church! WE
SHOULD REJOICE IN THE GOOD OF OTHERS EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT MEMBERS OF
“OUR CHURCH” OR GROUP (c.f., VCII: UR 4). I think one can draw
more people to the truth using honey (love) rather than vinegar
(judgment and condemnation). Judgment and a critical and negative
attitude toward others springs out of an inflated opinion of oneself
in most instances.

EVEN THE APOSTLES OF JESUS AT THE
BEGINNING OF THEIR WALK WITH THE LORD WERE RATHER IMMATURE! "Master,
we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him,
because he does not follow with us." But Jesus said to him, "Do
not forbid him; for he that is not against you is for you." (Lk
9:49-50). James and John said, "Lord, do you
want us to bid fire come down from heaven and consume them?" But
he turned and rebuked them. (Lk 9:54-55). (Visit also:
http://schis-trad.blogspot.com).

"Truth without humility or charity
is an idol."

I do not presume at all to know all the
facts or the whole situation regarding Nelson Mandella. But again I
am fully confident that Pope Benedict said what was needed to be said
in the most prudent manner with the given circumstances.

It is difficult also for me to put into
practice what I wrote here. I hope and pray that somehow I might be
able to help someone in their endeavor to seek and live the Truth.
“The truth shall set you free” (Jn 8:32)!

If we do not say anything positive to
others until they arrive to “our level” of truth or sanctity that
we “humbly” feel we have, who will we end up leading to Christ
that we believe we are following?!?

WHAT IS OUR REAL GOAL HERE, to vent our
irritation about the problems in the Church or to humbly beg our Lord
on our knees each day before the Blessed Sacrament to ask His
guidance to use us as His instruments to lead souls in the most
effective and prudent way to His feet even if we will suffer much and
even be humiliated? Do we only have one type of weapon in our
personal arsenal to wage battle against the forces of evil? Satan and
his followers today are more astute than ever before in the history
of the world to use a great variety of weapons, adapted to each group
or individual, so as to lead a great number of people away from God
in the most gentle and alluring and hidden ways ever devised so as to
try to not wake these souls up until it is too late.

Sometimes, depending on the given
circumstance, there is not the possibility to lead those of good will
toward the truth by our example of understanding and kindness,
waiting patiently for them to ask the questions on their journey
toward the fullness of the truth. THUS WHEN PRUDENTLY NEEDED, IN
PARTICULAR TO THOSE UNDER OUR CARE, FRATERNAL CORRECTION SHOULD BE
GIVEN IN A VIRTUOUS AND PRUDENT MANNER, EVEN IF THERE IS A GOOD
POSSIBILITY OF A NEGATIVE REACTION.

King David was of good will and thus
when the prophet Nathan (2 Sam 12:1-13) pointed out the truth to
David about his sin, THE REACTION OF KING DAVID WAS CONVERSION
INSTEAD OF REJECTION. Many people do not do as King David did after
receiving “fraternal correction”. Also, unfortunately today there
are many religious leaders who do not offer fraternal correction to
those under their charge as the prophet Nathan did.

IT IS TRUE THAT MANY
PEOPLE TODAY HAVE MISGUIDED COMPASSION AND DO NOT WANT TO HURT THE
FEELINGS OF OTHERS. The Lord said to the prophet Ezekiel: “If
I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do
not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked man
shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.
But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not
turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you will have
saved your life” (Ezek 33:8-9). Referring to the objective truth
St. James wrote: "Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth,
and one converts him, let him know, that he who converts the sinner
from the error of his ways shall save his soul from death, and shall
hide a multitude of sins." (Jms 5:19-20; see also: Mt 18:15-17).
Referring to the subjective truth or guilt St. James wrote: “Who
are you that you judge your neighbor?” (Jms 4:12; Mt 7:1-2).

MANY BISHOPS AND PRIESTS DO NOT DO AS
SAINT PETER ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST who came out
of the Cenacle and said with great courage to the “rulers of the
people and elders” (Acts 4:8), “You have crucified Jesus”
(Acts 4:10), “the author of life” (Acts 3:15) by your mortal sins
and then to explain the mortal sins most common today such as
contraception, abortion, euthanasia, homosexual acts, indifference
toward Jesus in the Eucharist, indifference toward those in need.

POPE BENEDICT XVI
SAID IN ST. PETER'S SQUARE, FRASCATI; 15
July 2012:

“The First Reading
presents us with the same perspective, showing us that all too often
God’s messengers are not well received. This is the case of the
Prophet Amos whom God sent to prophesy in the Sanctuary at Bethel, a
sanctuary of the Kingdom of Israel (cf. Amos 7:12-15). Amos preached
very energetically against injustices, denouncing in particular the
abuses of kings and notables, abuses of power that offend the Lord
and nullify acts of worship. Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, therefore
ordered Amos to leave. Amos answered that it was not he who chose
this mission but that the Lord had made him a prophet and sent him to
this very place in the Kingdom of Israel. Therefore, whether he was
accepted or rejected, he would continue to prophesy, preaching
whatever God told him and not what men wished to hear. AND THIS HAS
CONTINUED TO BE THE CHURCH’S MANDATE: SHE DOES NOT PREACH WHAT THE
POWERFUL WISH TO HEAR. HER CRITERION IS TRUTH AND JUSTICE EVEN IF IT
IS UNPOPULAR AND AGAINST HUMAN POWER.”
(http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/homilies/2012/documents/hf_ben-xvi_hom_20120715_frascati_en.html).

POPE JOHN PAUL II
(AMONG MANY OTHER OCCASIONS) SPOKE FIRMLY TO THE US BISHOPS AGAINST
THIS "PICK AND CHOOSE SMORGASBORD TYPE CATHOLICISM" in LA
in his September 1987 visit: "It is sometimes reported that a
large number of Catholics today do not adhere to the teaching of the
Church on a number of questions, notably sexual and conjugal
morality, divorce and remarriage. Some are reported as not accepting
the Church's clear position on abortion. It has also been noted that
there is a tendency on the part of some Catholics to be selective in
their adherence to the Church's moral teachings. It is sometimes
claimed that dissent from the Magisterium is totally compatible with
being a “good Catholic” and poses no obstacle to the reception of
the sacraments. This is a grave error that challenges the teaching
office of the bishops of the United States and elsewhere. I wish to
encourage you in the love of Christ to address this situation
courageously in your pastoral ministry, relying on the power of God's
truth to attract assent and on the grace of the Holy Spirit which is
given both to those who proclaim the message and to those to whom it
is addressed"
(http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/speeches/1987/september/documents/hf_jp-ii_spe_19870916_vescovi-stati-uniti_en.html).

THESE ARE WORDS THAT MOST
CATHOLICS DO NOT WANT TO HEAR! The Vicar of Christ is saying that
dissent from the Magisterium (not just the 10 Commandments or a
doctrine defined “ex cathedra”) is totally incompatible “with
being a “good Catholic” and poses an obstacle to the reception of
the sacraments”! That means, grave, mortal sin!

BLESSED JOHN HENRY
NEWMAN, in his “Discourses To Mixed Congregations” (the Anglicans
and the Catholics), said that one must not come to the Catholic
Church unless one intends to accept all of her teachings on faith and
morals. “And so again, when a man has become a Catholic, were he to
set about following a doubt which has occurred to him, he has already
disbelieved. I have not to warn him against losing his faith, he is
not merely in danger of losing it, he has lost it; from the nature of
the case he has already lost it; he fell from grace at the moment
when he deliberately entertained and pursued his doubt”
(http://www.newmanreader.org/works/discourses/discourse11.html).

But if a great
number of lay people, priests and bishops
ignore or disobey the teachings of the Magisterium of the Church,
WHAT CAN THE POPE DO? Should we get out our pistols and rifles and
shoot all those who we believe to be heretics like cowboy vigilantes?
Many saints lived in very difficult times; how did they contribute to
the building up of Christ’s Spouse, the Church? How did St.
Jeanne Jugan contribute to the solution in the very difficult period
of the French Revolution in France when all authority was thrown out
and there was secularistic mob rule?

THE CHURCH ON EARTH, THE “CHURCH
MILITANT”, IS MADE UP OF SAINTS AND SINNERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN
BETWEEN (Mt 13: 36-40, 47-50). In the early Church the heretical
cult, the Donatists, explained these two parables of the fish and of
the weeds in a rather simplistic way: the Church was made up of only
the good people and the world was made up of all the evil people
without hope of salvation. The Church would be in the world as a
“closed garden” or better, the Ark of Noah in which only for the
very few there is salvation from the general flood. St. Augustine’s
thought won out which was that of the universal Church. The Church
herself is a field in which grow weeds and good seed, bad and good
together . St. Augustine even exclaimed: “How many sheep there are
outside the Church and how many wolves are inside!” The world is
not divided into children of darkness and children of light; but
rather we are all children of darkness, we are all weeds, but
destined, if we desire it, to become children of the light and good
grain, receiving the Kingdom and converting ourselves. Nothing is
fixed or fatal, no castes of the elect or of the damned. The field
is, yes, the world, but it is also the Church: the place in which
there is room to grow, to convert oneself and above all to imitate
the patience of God. “The bad exist in this world either so that
they might convert themselves, or that by way of them the good
exercise patience” (St. Augustine).

BUT WHAT IS THE PRUDENT WAY TO HELP
PRIESTS AND BISHOPS live their calling to be prophets to their people
in these very difficult times today? What did Saint Monica do that
resulted in the conversion of her son Augustine? How should a son
handle the situation when he is convinced that his father is in
serious error? How should the son exercise the virtues of prudence,
respect, humility and charity, so that there might be the possibility
of good fruits with his other brothers and sisters? How should lay
men and women seek to help priests and bishops who do not obey the
teachings of the Magisterium of the Church with the Pope as the head?

Also how should lay men and women help
other people to not be led astray by bishops and priests who do not
obey the Vicar of Christ to the great detriment and damage to souls?
Again much prayer, discernment, humility and prudence is needed
because if we attack and undermine all authority as did the mob
during the French revolution, what is left, what will be the fruits?

Upon his farewell address to the
nation, GEORGE WASHINGTON tried to impress upon his fellow countrymen
that it was “Religion and Morality” that served as the foundation
for our young nation. Without the foundation of Religion and
Morality that George Washington and the other founding fathers
provided for us, there is simply no real hope for the future of this
country.

Pope John Paul II wrote: “Prayer
joined to sacrifice constitutes the most powerful force in human
history.” This coincides exactly with what Our Lady of Fatima asked
us to do: “Prayer and sacrifice”, in particular, the Holy Rosary.

SAINT JOHN VIANNEY said that a priest
should be ready to pray and sacrifice for every person who comes to
confession to him. Our Lady of Fatima said the same thing: pray and
offer sacrifices for the conversion of sinners. IF WE DO NOT PRAY AND
OFFER SACRIFICES AS OUR FIRST AND PRIMARY CONTRIBUTION FOR OTHERS,
rather than criticism as crusaders for the “truth”, are our
intentions truly based on love as an instrument of God in humility?
Without humility we are not God’s instruments and God does not work
in us and there will be no lasting fruits in the end, even though we
have convinced ourselves and others that we are working in the name
and for the glory of God! God works through the humble, not the
self-righteous!

SAINT JOHN BOSCO wrote: “It is so
much easier to get angry than to be patient, to threaten a boy rather
than persuade him. I would even say that usually it is so much more
convenient for our own impatience and pride to punish them than to
correct them patiently with firmness and gentleness” (Breviary,
January 31).

SAINT ANGELA MERICI wrote to her
religious sister in regard to poor girls in their institute: “I ask
you, please, do try to bring them up with love, with a gentle and
kindly hand, not overbearingly nor harshly. Try to be kind always.
Notice what Jesus Christ says, “Learn of me for I am gentle and
humble of heart” (Mt 11:29). … I do not mean, however, that at
times one must not make use of some restraint, even of severity in
some cases, depending on the importance of the circumstance and the
need of the individuals. But even then, we must be moved solely by
charity and zeal for souls” (Breviary, January 27).

When talking about a
mother-in-law who was no longer allowed to come and visit her
grandchildren because she said a prayer before a meal, PSYCHOLOGISTS
DR. RAY GUARENDI said that you do not win
arguments with someone who does not want to hear what you have to
say. All you do is make them dig their heels in even tougher. The
advise Dr. Ray gives to spouses in this situation, your only chance,
is that the spouse has to see that because of your faith that you are
easier to live with, more giving, more sacrificing and kinder. If you
do not do that, he says that I do not care how often you tell your
husband or children that you go to church, and I do not care when
they see you coming back from confession, or praying your rosary, it
has got to be in how you treat them. They got to see that this
Catholic faith has changed you, however subtle, however subtle. But
you cannot say, I am going to grab my husband by the throat: “You
got to believe, you got to come to church with me now, let’s go.”
Dr. Ray said that I can give you the best arguments in the world for
the faith, and if you do not want to accept them, you will tune me
out so fast. And you know what will tend to happen, if that’s the
catholic church in front of me on the street and I am standing here
and I do not want to go toward that church and you start pushing on
me and arguing, and we fight, I back off. The hardest part is to
change who we are, but it is probably the most successful way to
change those closest to us.

As we have heard
before, honey attracts more flies than vinegar!
SAINT PAUL TELLS US: “For though I am free from all men, I have
made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more. To the Jews I
became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the law I
became as one under the law--though not being myself under the
law--that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I
became as one outside the law--not being without law toward God but
under the law of Christ--that I might win those outside the law. To
the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all
things to all men, that I might by all means save some. I do it all
for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings”
(1Cor 9:19-23).

The way of Christ, the way of the
saints, is not easy. THERE WAS A SCANDALOUS PRIEST IN ASSISI AT THE
TIME OF ST. FRANCIS who lived with a woman and gave scandal in other
ways as well. One day when St. Francis encountered this priest, the
people were waiting to see if Francis would scold him or rebuke him
to at least alleviate the scandal. St. Francis knelt down before this
sinful priest, kissed his hands and said that from these hands I
receive the Body of Christ and the forgiveness of my sins. The people
were amazed and the scandalous priest changed his life for the
better.

I have been in the Church all my life
and thus needless to say I have suffered the most from my spouse, the
Church. I HAVE BEEN BETRAYED AND ABANDONED BY PRIESTS loosing my
community or parish or friends; twice I suffered a difficult
depression after such experiences. After one of these experiences, I
was just about destroyed mentally, I went into depression and I also
took medication. But what saved me was that I persevered in praying
everyday before the Blessed Sacrament even though thoughts of anger
and self justification and judgment continued to come into my head.
But slowly I began to realize how much Christ suffered for me and
that my debt to Jesus was “ten thousand talents” and that the
priest who caused me to go into depression owed me only “a hundred
denarii” (Mt 18:23-35). To read the rest of this experience, visit:
“Let Us Love Our Spouse”
(http://spir-food.blogspot.com/2008/05/let-us-love-our-spouse.html).

It is very interesting when we look
closely at the history of the Church WHICH REFORMERS CONTRIBUTED TO
THE BUILDING UP OF THE CHURCH AND WHICH REFORMERS CONTRIBUTED TO THE
TEARING DOWN OF THE CHURCH. There have been many saints who spoke out
strongly in regard to the abuses and errors of the clergy, such as
Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint Anthony of Padua, and many others.
What is the essential difference here between saintly reformers and
non saintly reformers. Certainly one of the essential elements or
constructive reformation is to work within the Church with prudence
and humility, even though at times some of the saints spoke out very
boldly like Saint John the Baptist did with the Pharisees and
Scribes. Others so-called reformers rejected the visible head of the
Church and left the Church while convincing themselves they were
called by God to crusade against the abuses and errors that they saw
in the Church. Only the Pope has the promise and guarantee to not
error regarding faith and morals (Mt 16:18); the bishops and priests
do not have this special guidance and protection from God, and thus
it is imperative for bishops and priests to remain in union with the
Pope!

As our Lady of Fatima and our Lady of
Akita, Japan indicate, WE ARE LIVING IN EXTRAORDINARILY DIFFICULT
TIMES. Our Lady told Sr. Agnes Sasagawa at
Akita, Japan (October 13, 1973): "The work of the devil will
infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see
cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops”
(http://www.ewtn.com/library/mary/akita.htm).

Even though the Church is being
attacked from all sides, THE POPE CANNOT GIVE INTO BECOMING ONLY
DEFENSIVE AND CONDEMNATORY. It is always a great challenge to
persevere with prudence in loving the sinner but hating the sin so as
to offer every possibility for the sinner, at his own pace, to return
to the Truth Who is Christ. I say with “prudence” so as to not
scandalize the weak if it is not necessary. It was necessary for
Christ to love all and thus He scandalized many 2000 years ago. The
visible head of the Church must do the same, when necessary and
prudent, at the risk of scandalizing the weak and the ones who have
learned very little from Jesus meek and humble of heart (Mt 11:29).
One example of this was the praying together for peace at Assisi.

IF ONE YIELDS TO THE TEMPTATION OF
PUTTING HIMSELF ABOVE THE POPE, this person has no other reference
point on earth above himself for the source of the truth. He believes
he has a direct link to the Holy Spirit and is above everyone on
earth. This is why the thousands of independent protestant groups
interpret many important passages of the Bible in different and
contradictory ways, even though there is only one Bible and one God;
they do not have the “Rock”! But if we do not submit to the
authority that Jesus left us here on earth, we do not submit to God
either, but rather to what we have created God to be in our own
heads. Pride makes us blind. It is so easy to slowly slide in the
direction of seeing only the sins of others and to become blind to
our sins and lack of virtue. “Why do you see the speck that is in
your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own
eye? (Mt 7:3). So many times ones reads in the diary of Saint
Faustina that she considered herself misery itself while she
contemplated the infinite Truth Itself, God!

Regarding priests and religious, Sister
Mary Gabriel in purgatory told Sister Mary of the Cross on December
8, 1879: “ALAS, HOW MANY LIVES SEEM TO BE FILLED WITH GOOD WORKS
AND AT THE DEATH ARE FOUND EMPTY. This is because all those actions
that appeared to be good, all those showy works, all that conduct
that seemed irreproachable - all these were not done for Jesus alone.
Some will have their eyes opened when they come here to this life (in
Purgatory). On earth they wanted to be made much of, to shine, to be
thought very exact in religious observances, to be esteemed as
perfect religious. This is the mainspring of so many lives. If you
only knew how few people work for God and act for Him alone. Alas, at
death, when they are no longer blinded, what regrets they will have.
If only sometimes they would think of eternity. What is life compared
to that day which will have no evening for the elect, or to that
night which will have no dawning for the damned? On earth, people
attach themselves to everything and everyone except to Him, who alone
ought to have our love and to whom we refuse it. Jesus in the
Tabernacle waits for souls to love Him and He finds none. HARDLY ONE
SOUL IN A THOUSAND LOVES HIM AS IT SHOULD. You love Him and make up
to Him for this guilty indifference which exists all over this
world.” (http://purgatory-manu.blogspot.com).

What ever our state in life, we can use
what we have as well as our situation in life to serve ourselves or
serve our Creator who gave us all that we have. As Sister Mary
Gabriel in purgatory clearly indicates, a priest or religious, even
though they seem holy to others, can use all they have received from
God to serve their own egoism.

“Oh, what pain it causes my heart
when I see a nun who has not the religious spirit! How can one be
pleasing to God when one is inflated with pride and self-love under
the pretense of striving for God’s glory, WHILE IN FACT ONE IS
SEEKING ONE’S OWN GLORY? When I see such a thing, it gives me very
great pain. How can such a soul be united closely with God? Union
with the Lord is out of the question here” (Diary, 1139).

“On several occasions, I have learned
how some religious defend their own glory under the pretext of being
concerned for the glory of God, whereas it is not a question of the
glory of God, but of glory of self. O Jesus, how painful this has
been for me! What secrets the day of Your judgment will bring to
light! How can one steal God’s gifts?” (Diary, 1149).

The Lord said to Saint Faustina: “I
have wanted to exalt this Congregation many times, but I am unable to
do so because of its pride. Know, My daughter, that I do not grant My
graces to proud souls, and I even take away from them the graces I
have granted” (Diary, 1170).

EVEN THIS EMAIL IS OF NO USE because it
will always be judged by the one who feels he is full of wisdom and
intelligence and thus this email will be rejected according to his
infallible criteria and logic inside his own head. “I thank thee,
Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things
from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes” (Mt
11:25)!

The Protestants had the same conviction
and attitude. We condemn the protestants but we feel we are better
and not in the same category or in the same grave error!!!

One reads over and over again in the
Diary of Saint Faustina that JESUS ALWAYS DIRECTED SAINT FAUSTINA TO
ALWAYS BE TOTALLY OBEDIENT AND DOCILE BEFORE HER LAWFUL SUPERIORS,
spiritual directors and confessors, even though Saint Faustina was
more holy than they were. Because as the saints explain, God can
change the heart of a superior if needed. If Saint Faustina or Saint
Teresa of Avila never obeyed except when their superiors were totally
in agreement with themselves, there is no virtue, there is no
humility, there is no trust in God but only in self!

The Mother Directress told Saint
Faustina: “As waters flow from the mountains down into the valleys,
so, too, do God’s graces flow only into humble souls” (Diary,
55).

BUT GOD ASKS EVERYONE TO MAKE A LEAP OF
FAITH IN ORDER TO ENTER HEAVEN; and many times at that. If you are
not willing to make this leap of faith to trust the Vicar of Christ,
what can I say? Nothing! This docility, faith and trust in God and
his Church with the Pope as the head are more important than ever. If
one does not arrive to a profound trust in God, with true humility,
it will be impossible to confront and embrace martyrdom if we
habitually rely on our own strength, wisdom and intelligence. I truly
believe that before the centenary of the great miracle of Fatima,
October 13, 2017, a great number of people will be force to choose
between denying Christ to be able to receive the “mark of the
beast”, in the form of a microchip, so as not to die of starvation,
or refuse to deny Christ at the risk of great suffering and probable
death.

I also found very interesting the last
part of the homily of Pope Benedict XVI; Esplanade of the Shrine of
Our Lady of Fátima; before 500,000 people: 13 May 2010:

“WE WOULD BE MISTAKEN TO THINK THAT
FATIMA’S PROPHETIC MISSION IS COMPLETE. Here there takes on new
life the plan of God which asks humanity from the beginning: “Where
is your brother Abel […] Your brother’s blood is crying out to me
from the ground!” (Gen 4:9). Mankind has succeeded in unleashing a
cycle of death and terror, but failed in bringing it to an end… In
sacred Scripture we often find that God seeks righteous men and women
IN ORDER TO SAVE THE CITY OF MAN and he does the same here, in
Fatima, when Our Lady asks: “Do you want to offer yourselves to
God, to endure all the sufferings which he will send you, in an act
of reparation for the sins by which he is offended and of
supplication for the conversion of sinners?” (Memoirs of Sister
Lúcia, I, 162).

IF ONE PUTS HIMSELF ABOVE THE VICAR OF
CHRIST, WHAT GOOD IS THIS EMAIL? We can only have an intellectual
argument and nothing more! Faith is a gift, and a delicate one at
that. Faith can easily be lost!

I HAD A SIMILAR SAD EXPERIENCE WITH MY
SISTER AND HER HUSBAND who also drew my mother with them into their
sedevacantist group after my father died five years ago. It is
interesting also that if the group that they associate themselves
with now does not say what they want to hear, such as to return to
Rome, they find another sedevacantist group which agrees with
themselves, just as the Protestants go church hoping. You can find my
article about my attempts to help them at:
http://schis-trad.blogspot.com.

“CARDINAL IVAN
DIAS AT LOURDES ANNOUNCES: WE ARE AT THE FINAL BATTLE BETWEEN THE
CHURCH AND ANTICHURCH. He is the head of the powerful Congregation of
the Propagation of the Faith, that promotes the evangelization of the
world. This was in the last few days at Lourdes, during which time
was celebrated the 150th
anniversary of the apparition of the Virgin to Bernadette. He
pronounced a surprising homily for its apocalyptic tones; one could
deduce that the end of Time is not far off. We cite a few passages.
“What meaning could the message of Our Lady of Lourdes have for us
today? I love to situate these apparitions in the broader context of
the permanent and fierce combat between the forces of good and evil,
which will continue till the end of time”. Our Lady foresees “the
rise of the Antichrist and his attempts to replace God in the life of
men; attempts that despite their striking successes, will be
nevertheless destined to failure”. The cardinal counsels to pray
the Rosary, and to practice the conversion of heart, and to accept
sufferings for the salvation of the world. Especially now, he
explains, because “The combat between God and his enemy always
blazes, even more today, because the world finds itself terribly
swallowed up in the swamp of a secularism that wants to create a
world without God; of a relativism that suffocates the permanent and
immutable values of the Gospel; of a religious indifference which
remains imperturbable before the superior good of the things which
regard God and the Church”. And then he cites John Paul II: “We
are before today the greatest fight that humanity has ever seen. I do
not believe that the Christian community has totally understood this.
We are today before the final confrontation between the Church and
the anti-Church, between the Gospel and the anti-Gospel”. BUT IT IS
THE WOMAN “OF GENESIS AND OF THE APOCALYPSE”, CONCLUDES THE
CARDINAL, “THAT WILL COMBAT AT THE HEAD OF THE ARMY OF HER SONS AND
DAUGHTERS AGAINST THE ENEMY FORCES OF SATAN AND WILL CRUSH THE HEAD
OF THE SERPENT”. Do you share the sensation that there may be
preannounced a final collision, and perhaps, the end of the times?”
(December 13, 2007;
http://www.lastampa.it/_web/CMSTP/tmplrubriche/giornalisti/grubrica.asp?ID_blog=196&ID_articolo=36&ID_sezione=396&sezione=San%20Pietro%20e%20dintorni)

SAINT LOUIS DE
MONTFORT EXPLAINS IN GREATER DETAIL about
“the army of her sons and daughters against the enemy forces of
Satan and will crush the head of the serpent” in his book: True
Devotion to Mary”.

“51. It is chiefly
in reference to these last wicked persecutions of the devil, daily
increasing until the advent of the reign of anti-Christ, that we
should UNDERSTAND THAT FIRST AND WELL-KNOWN PROPHECY and curse of God
uttered against the serpent in the garden of paradise. It is
opportune to explain it here for the glory of the Blessed Virgin, the
salvation of her children and the confusion of the devil. "I
will place enmities between you and the woman, between your race and
her race; she will crush your head and you will lie in wait for her
heel" (Gen. 3:15).”

“52. GOD HAS
ESTABLISHED ONLY ONE ENMITY–BUT IT IS AN IRRECONCILABLE ONE–WHICH
WILL LAST AND EVEN GO ON INCREASING TO THE END OF TIME. That enmity
is between Mary, his worthy Mother, and the devil, between the
children and the servants of the Blessed Virgin and the children and
followers of Lucifer. Thus the most fearful enemy that God has set up
against the devil is Mary, his holy Mother. From the time of the
earthly paradise, although she existed then only in his mind, he gave
her such a hatred for his accursed enemy, such ingenuity in exposing
the wickedness of the ancient serpent and such power to defeat,
OVERTHROW AND CRUSH THIS PROUD REBEL, that Satan fears her not only
more than angels and men but IN A CERTAIN SENSE MORE THAN GOD
HIMSELF. This does not mean that the anger, hatred and power of God
are not infinitely greater than the Blessed Virgin's, since her
attributes are limited. It simply means that Satan, being so proud,
suffers infinitely more in being vanquished and punished by a lowly
and humble servant of God, for her humility humiliates him more than
the power of God. Moreover, God has given Mary such great power over
the evil spirits that, as they have often been forced unwillingly to
admit through the lips of possessed persons, they fear one of her
pleadings for a soul more than the prayers of all the saints, and one
of her threats more than all their other torments.”

“53. WHAT LUCIFER
LOST BY PRIDE MARY WON BY HUMILITY. What Eve ruined and lost by
disobedience Mary saved by obedience. By obeying the serpent, Eve
ruined her children as well as herself and delivered them up to him.
Mary by her perfect fidelity to God saved her children with herself
and consecrated them to his divine majesty.”

“54. GOD HAS
ESTABLISHED NOT JUST ONE ENMITY BUT "ENMITIES", AND NOT
ONLY BETWEEN MARY AND SATAN BUT BETWEEN HER RACE AND HIS RACE. That
is, God has put enmities, antipathies and hatreds between the true
children and servants of the Blessed Virgin and the children and
slaves of the devil. They have no love and no sympathy for each
other. The children of Belial, the slaves of Satan, the friends of
the world, - for they are all one and the same - have always
persecuted and will persecute more than ever in the future those who
belong to the Blessed Virgin, just as Cain of old persecuted his
brother Abel, and Esau his brother Jacob. These are the types of the
wicked and of the just. But the humble Mary will always triumph over
Satan, the proud one, and so great will be her victory that she will
crush his head, the very seat of his pride. She will unmask his
serpent's cunning and expose his wicked plots. She will scatter to
the winds his devilish plans and to the end of time will keep her
faithful servants safe from his cruel claws. … But Mary’s power
over the evil spirits will especially shine forth in the latter
times, when Satan will lie in wait for her heel, that is, FOR HER
HUMBLE SERVANTS AND HER POOR CHILDREN whom she will rouse to fight
against him. IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD THEY WILL BE LITTLE AND POOR
AND, LIKE THE HEEL, LOWLY IN THE EYES OF ALL, DOWNTRODDEN AND CRUSHED
AS IS THE HEEL BY THE OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY. But in compensation
for this they will be rich in god's graces, which will be abundantly
bestowed on them by Mary. They will be great and exalted before God
in holiness. They will be superior to all creatures by their great
zeal and so strongly will they be supported by divine assistance
that, in union with Mary, they will crush the head of Satan with
their heel, that is, THEIR HUMILITY, and bring victory to Jesus
Christ.”

I have much to do, so I cannot promise
I will be able to respond very often. But please rest assured of my
prayers and sacrifices. WE MUST ALWAYS WORK HARD TO SEEK THE TRUTH
WITH HUMILITY. It is exceptionally easy today to deceive ourselves
with Satan attacking from all sides and in all ways possible. As
indicated by the dream of St. John Bosco as well as all of the
saints, let us pass as much time as possible before the Most Blessed
Sacrament with our weapon (as St. Padre Pio called it), the Rosary in
hand. “Make frequent visits to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and
the devil will be powerless against you.” - St. John Bosco.

I WILL ALWAYS STICK WITH THE VALIDLY
ELECTED VICAR OF CHRIST. I am confident that when the prophecy of
Hildegard will take place, especially having read this prophecy along
with her canonization and soon to become a doctor of the Church,
those of good will and with true humility and docility to the Holy
Spirit will know when this happens and realize that the imposter is
not validly elected by the college of cardinals. “For false Christs
and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as
to lead astray, if possible, even the elect” (Mt 24:24).

Introduction

Much has been written about the year 2012. But for believers, in particular Catholics, just as the Blessed Virgin Mary had a very essential God-given role in the first coming of the Son of God, so too, as Saint Louis de Montfort and other saints tell us, Mary, the Mother of God, will have a very important role in the preparation for the second coming of Christ. The Mother of God appeared at Fatima, confirmed by great signs, during the year 1917.

EXACTLY 33 YEARS TO THE DAY prior to the great Miracle of the Sun in Fatima (October 13, 1917), that is, on October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a REMARKABLE VISION. After this vision, he went immediately from the Chapel to his office and composed the prayer to St. Michael, with instructions that it be said after all Low Masses everywhere in the world.

Again, Our Blessed Mother gave her final message at Akita, Japan precisely on the 56th anniversary of the great miracle at Fatima, October 13, 1973.

On May 13, 2010, Pope Benedict told us that FATIMA'S PROPHETIC MISSION IS NOT COMPLETE. The pontiff concluded with the prayer: “MAY THE SEVEN YEARS WHICH SEPARATE US FROM THE CENTENARY OF THE APPARITIONS HASTEN THE FULFILLMENT OF THE PROPHECY OF THE TRIUMPH OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY, to the glory of the Most Holy Trinity.”

But before this “triumph”, the Body of Christ, THE CHURCH, like her head, Jesus Christ, WILL GO THROUGH THE PASSION AND CRUCIFIXION, during which time the “mystery of iniquity” will be unveiled causing “the faith of many believers” to be shaken.

The greatest catastrophe in this period of “great tribulation” is the loss of faith of so many. After this will follow, as a consequence of the loss of faith, the physical or material catastrophe of which many messages from heaven have indicated to us.

December 21, 2012

A person, who I know well, continued to frequent the sacraments regularly and to pray the Rosary, as he had learned from his family of birth, up until his second year of college. At a certain point he began to have sexual relations with girls before marriage without repenting or going to confession. He also began to focus on the defects of his father which helped him to justify throwing out all together the Catholic faith that he received from his parents. After more that 30 years outside of the Church and away from the sacraments, he even make the statement that all religions are the same. One of his poor sons, who was deprived of the inestimable gift of the Catholic faith, said: “I consider myself a deist”. A year ago when I telephoned my friend, he expressed to me his preoccupation about the year 2012. Those who reject God the Creator will end up filling the void and believing in something; in this case, the infallible guide for my friend was no longer God, Jesus Christ, or the Church Christ founded, the Catholic Church with the Pope as the head, but science. I described to my friend what science had discovered, with the help of the computer, what the wise men saw 2000 years ago which motivated them to make a trip of about 1000 kilometers in order to find the King of the Jews born in Bethlehem. Unfortunately, after I finished this explanation, my friend was not interested in continuing our conversation on the phone since his infallible guide, science, had confirmed the extraordinary signs left by the Creator in the giant precise system of orbiting bodies in the universe, regarding the birth of Jesus Christ (http://spir-food.blogspot.com/2011/01/epiphany.html).

The interesting fact regarding the divine creation of the universe is that the astronomers of the ancient Maya had precisely foreseen, more than 1500 years ago, THE EXACT ALIGNMENTof the Earth, of the Sun, of the star cluster of the Pleiades and of the center of our Galaxy, which will happen at the end of our present long cycle, in the Gregorian year 2012. All scientific evidence has shown the Mayan Long Count astronomical predictions to be accurate. The last time the planets and the stars were in this alignment was 26,000 years ago.

Obviously GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS! Even though many people have the tendency to exaggerate and to fantasize incredible predictions out of these extraordinary occurrences, this very rare alignment will not happen by chance! God created the universe, which moves like a huge precise clock. The universe was above all created for the King of the Universe, Jesus Christ, and secondarily for human beings.

But before this “triumph”, the Body of Christ, THE CHURCH, like her head, Christ, WILL GO THROUGH THE PASSION AND CRUCIFIXION as we read in Matthew 24 and elsewhere in the Sacred Scriptures. Just as Christ cried out on the cross, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Mt 27:46; Mk 15:34), so too the Body, in her members, will cry out in this period of “great tribulation”, in this “dark night of the soul” for the Church: “How is it that it seems that the forces of evil have completely conquered?” It is interesting that Pope Benedict dedicated his Wednesday audience on February 8, 2012 precisely to this verse! Those not in the state of grace will curse and blaspheme!

In 1977 one year before his death, POPE PAUL VI spoke about the situation in the modern world and he said this: “There is a great uneasiness at this time in the world and in the Church, and that which is in question is the faith. It so happens that I repeat to myself the obscure phrase of Jesus in the Gospel of St. Luke: When the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on earth? I sometimes read the Gospel passage of the end times and I must attest, at this time some signs of this end are emerging. Are we close to the end? This we will never know. But we always hold ourselves in readiness.”

Our Lady of Fatima said that we could still avert this TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT on all of humanity if there were enough prayers, sacrifices and penance offered to God. But Pope John Paul II, commenting on the 3rd Secret of Fatima while conversing with a small group of pilgrims in the cathedral square of Fulda, West Germany, in November 1980, said: "We have to be prepared to suffer, before long, great trials which will require of us the disposition to sacrifice even our life for Christ. Through your prayers and mine, it is still possible to diminish this trial, BUT IT IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE TO AVERT IT, because only in this manner can the Church be effectively renewed. How many times has the RENEWAL OF THE CHURCH BEEN BROUGHT ABOUT IN BLOOD! It will not be different this time."

JESUS TO MARGARET OF JESUS: “I am truly dismayed that so many still are not open to this reality soon to come and that they are still convinced that all is far off! They are deceived if they think like this, because when suddenly My Arrival will be, THEY WILL NOT YET BE READY. (07/02/2002; http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa9902eng.html).

It is true that we do not know "the day and the hour" of THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD, but we can "know that it is near, even at the doors" (Mt 24:33, 36). God's Word admonishes the Christian to be wise (Mt 10:16) and watchful (Mt 24:42; 2Tim 4:8; Tit 2:13), especially as the day of Christ's return approaches (Heb 10:25). “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates” (Mt 24:32; Mk 13:28; Lk 21:29-31). “YOU HYPOCRITES! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky; but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?” (Lk 12:56; Mt 16:3).

THE CHASTISEMENT OF BEING COERCED IN THE DESTRUCTION OF GOD-GIVEN MORALS and then manipulated in very sophisticated ways of following this culture of death is far worse than the physical destruction which will soon follow; eternity is a little bit longer than this short life!

Those in the state of grace, who truly follow and live God’s commandments and Gospel, will be able to RECOGNIZE THIS DECEPTION. For those who do not seek and live the Truth, "God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2Thess 2:11-12).

Jesus: “Come, daughter, to write for Me the Words of Heaven. My dear daughter, thank you for your availability to listen to My Word. It is Word that saves and it gives certitude of my arrival among you. This will happen soon, dear child, very soon, be certain of this. MY INFINITE LOVE FOR ALL OF YOU, CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER, too many are those who are moving away from the Holy Sheep-fold!”.(07/01/2008; http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa08eng.html).

Pope John Paul II, before he was elevated to the Chair of Peter, said these prophetic words which apply to all of us and to our situation today:

“We are now standing in the face of THE GREATEST HISTORICAL CONFRONTATION humanity has gone through. I do not think the wide circles of the American society, or wide circles of the Christian community, realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel. This confrontation lies within the plans of divine Providence; it is a trial which the whole Church must take up. It is a trial of not only our nations and the Church, but in a sense, a test of 2,000 years of culture and Christian civilization with all of its consequences for human dignity, individual rights, human rights and the rights of nations.” (Pope John Paul II speaking in September 1976, then Karol Cardinal Wojtyla; http://www.saintpiocenter.org/aboutus/observations.asp; http://endtimeslion.com/?p=231).

THE CHURCH ALSO SAYS RELATIVELY LITTLE about the time of trial or tribulation in the final days. The Church will go through the great trial, but we do not know how long it will last. The Catechism declares, "Before Christ's Second Coming the Church must PASS THROUGH A FINAL TRIAL that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the 'mystery of iniquity' in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth" (CCC 675; also see CCC 2642). Visit: “The Divine Mercy and the Second Coming” (http://www.ewtn.com/devotionals/mercy/coming.htm).

This time of trial will be at the start of the "last days" in the sense of the end of history: "According to the Lord, the present time is the time of the Spirit and of witness, but also a time still marked by 'distress' and the time of evil which does not spare the Church and ushers in the struggles of the last days. It is a time of waiting and watching" (CCC 672).

We Have Willingly Given Power To Satan

SATAN ONLY HAS POWER OVER EACH OF US AND OVER GROUPS OF PEOPLE TO THE DEGREE THAT WE FREELY CHOOSE TO PRAY LESS AND SIN MORE. If many pray and seek to live the commandments of God, the promoters of evil can do very little indeed! Padre Pio said that the devil is like a rabid dog tied to a chain; beyond the length of the chain he cannot seize anyone. If we do not pray and seek to live God’s commandments and Gospel, and thus yielding easily to his temptations, we freely put ourselves in the reach of this rabid dog. God, Who respects our free will, can only help us if we ask for His help; the devil would like to force us all into hell, but is constrained by God unless we freely give into temptation and sloth. It is interesting that conservatives generally respect the freedom of others as long as that freedom does not interfere with the freedom of others. But the liberals do not tolerate the freedom of true Christians, and work and manipulate to inhibit, restrict and even totally take away basic freedoms guaranteed in the US constitution, and in particular the First Amendment.

STEP BY STEP, OUR FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE IS BEING TAKEN AWAY in a well programmed and orchestrated agenda toward the culture of death. History repeats itself, but this time, as never before, our destruction is more subtle, hidden and extremely well orchestrated. Satan is more powerful than ever before in the history of mankind, due to the lack of prayer and more sin, and at the same time more hidden. Satan is so shrewd that he has actually convinced even the great majority of Christians that he does not exist! Satan has even managed to corrupt many bishops who no longer believe that the devil exists and therefore they feel there is no need of an exorcist in their respective diocese (http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?id=2879).

WE HAVE BEEN LED INTO THE PLEASURES OF ILLICIT SEX AND OTHER SINS SO AS TO BECOME NUMB and unable to realize where we are being led and unable to react or to take action. In the past, a society has gone down because of the sloth and lack of diligence of the people. But more than ever before in the history of the world, those who have given their souls not to God but to the prince of darkness have taken control of the motors of the culture and the governments so as to push us as quickly as possible toward their destructive agenda in such a way so as to alert as few people as possible about their true agenda and thus causing minimal reaction or awareness of what is really going on. Three steps forward and two steps back; soon they will have full control and they will no longer have to take two steps back! Obama shrewdly realized that it is better not to seek straight out to fulfill his campaign promise to Planned Parenthood: "The first thing I'd do as president is sign the "Freedom of Choice Act"!” So he will do it slowly and incrementally, “by stealth”, so as not to cause a reaction. If you throw a frog into boiling water, it immediately reacts and jumps out (see the horror of sin!). If you put the FROG IN COLD WATER AND SLOWLY HEAT IT UP, the frog does not jump out and ends up cooked (habituated to sin, numb to the reality)! WE HAVE WILLINGLY LET OURSELVES BE COOKED! Just as Hitler did, you begin with eliminating the outcasts and unwanted; then the government changes the parameters and we find ourselves in the category to be eliminated according to the law of Cesar! All social engineering is proceeded by verbal engineering. First they muddied up the words so we are not clear what we are talking about. That is why they never talk about killing, they talk about terminative pregnancy, removal of the product of conception, even though we are talking about killing, murder! Hail Cesar; Heil Hitler! Very soon if you say “Praise be Jesus Christ” you will be eliminated or your microchip will not function to be able to buy or sell anything! These world rulers have willing swallowed the lie of their invisible master, Satan, that hell does not exist; but when they die they are in for a big surprise!

“To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting” (Sun Tzu, the Art of War).

"THEY (Nazi) CAME FIRST for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. THEN THEY CAME for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. THEN THEY CAME for me and by that time no one was left to speak up." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came...)

One of the fundamental strategies to take control of a country is to promote sexual license so as not only to lead us into sin but to pervert this God given energy of our sexuality toward our own destruction, instead of building up society, and thus rendering us confused in mind and impotent to be able to resist their forward advance. From a website in Italian one finds the following in regards to MASONRY AND SEXUAL CORRUPTION (http://cattoliciliberi.forumcommunity.net/?t=25524939):

In order to destroy the Church… it is better by way of corruption than by persecution. … A few statements taken from the program of the Masons:

2) “Our job is to PROMOTE A WAVE OF PORNOGRAPHY and to present it with sympathy as the supreme goal of artistic freedom” (Word of order of the Italian Communist Party).

3) “If we want to destroy a nation, WE MUST FIRST DESTROY IT’S MORALS; then it will fall in our laps as a ripe fruit. Awaken the interest of the youth for sex and it will be yours” (Lenin).

4) “Abrogate all the laws against obscenity. Destroy the sense of morals by diffusing pornography in the books, in the magazines, in the cinema, by way of radio and television. PRESENT THE SEXUAL DEGENERATIONS AS NORMAL, natural, favorable to the psychological and hygienic equilibrium. Destroy the family, favoring free unions and divorce” (Directives given to the communists of the United States).

AFTER YEARS OF PATIENT, HIDDEN WORK BY THESE GOD-LESS PEOPLE, in the destruction of the moral fabric of our nation which brought this nation to the heights of well being, we are now very similar to a wounded bird with which the cat enjoys playing with before devouring it! How would you like to be played with by this cat for all eternity? The choice is ours. God’s mercy is ready for the greatest sinner while we are alive; after death, no more mercy but divine justice! We so easily and so willingly forget that life is a battle, a “DOUR COMBAT with the powers of evil” (CCC 409)! As in any combat, if we relax and let down our guard, the enemy advances immediately. Our enemy is much more intelligent than we are and he does not ever sleep! In the Gospels we often find Jesus casting out the demons from possessed people. Today Satan is even more sly; he has convinced so many that life is not a “dour combat” and there is no eternity, no moral responsibility, so we relax and the enemy advances immediately hoping to take each of us to his eternal dwelling place before we even wake up to reality. After death, our destiny is sealed for all eternity. While we are alive, if we ask, with humility and sincerity, for the mercy of God, God grants His precious mercy; after death there will only be the eternal justice of God!

By now the forces of evil have taken control of the wealth of the world, the means of communication, educational systems and even most religious institutes to brainwash us in a very powerful way. This is why these puppets of Satan do all they can to get control of governments so as to use our money to push their destructive agenda even more, forcing us to pay for our own brainwashing and the murder of millions of innocent babies and so many others defenseless and “unwanted” victims. Satan and his followers have always sought to lead and coerce others in their direction, according to their agenda. But now this coercion is far more organized and powerful than any time in the history of the world. The more we heed to the beckoning of evil, the more the social apparatuses and the motors of the culture fall into the hands of these forces. Evil progresses when good men do nothing. Certainly there have been for centuries well organized groups such as the Freemasons more closely working for the prince of darkness. BUT THERE ARE TODAY MORE AND MORE GROUPS ALIGNING THEMSELVES IN BUILDING THE ULTIMATETOWER OF BABEL IN TOTAL REBELLION AGAINST GOD! THUS, THERE IS AN ACCELERATION TODAY TOWARDS OUR DESTRUCTION. WE ARE APPROACHING HERE ON EARTH AN AVALANCHE OF DISASTER. SATAN’S WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HELL! We are quickly progressing into and through the greatest period of tribulation in the history of the world, past or future (Mt 24:21), and thus the Church, the Bride of Christ, will be purified.

Due To Our Negligence, Our Freedoms Are Taken Away

It is true that no particular denomination or belief system should dictate our tenants or beliefs much as the Church of England did or as some Catholic church members, against the directives of the Pope, did in Spain centuries ago. But most of us do want believers to influence our country rather than non believers to influence our country. WHY CAN WE NO LONGER PRAY IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS OR HAVEMONUMENTS OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OR A NATIVITY SCENE IN PUBLIC? Why can we not mention the name of God as if His Holy Name is a curse word? Why has the religion of atheism dominated in our recent history? OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WOULD NEVER HAVE DREAMED of such a prohibition. Our founding fathers would never have dreamed of letting an extremely small minority of people, like Madeline Murray O'Hare and others like her, to take away from all “free Americans” our freedom to pray in our American public schools. Our founding fathers would never have dreamed of legalizing abortion! Our founding fathers would never have dreamed of the possibility of our national government to even consider taking away the freedom of conscience for those doctors and hospitals who believe that it is murder to kill an unwanted, unborn human being! Our founding fathers would never have dreamed of changing the God-given definition of marriage between a man and a woman to any combination that suits our egoism and hedonism and perversion, which ultimately weakens and destroys the fundamental cell of society, the family as intended by the Creator.

Is this not even worse than what the Church of England imposed on their subjects over 200 years ago? Our founding fathers fought a bloody revolution to be free to worship God as each person saw fit! NOW OUR GOVERNMENT IS WORSE THAT WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS FLED FROM HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO! Our founding fathers would never have dreamed of the false interpretation of “separation of church and state” as it is used today to promote “the religion of atheism”. For our founding fathers this phrase, which is not even found in the US constitution (in Russia it is!), meant for the government to stay off our backs to let us worship God as each person chooses! If you want to be an atheist or destroy yourself, go for it; but let those who want to build a healthy society for the benefit of all, and not just for themselves, live in peace! Life is a battle, a “DOUR COMBAT with the powers of evil” (CCC 409)!

WHEN THE PEOPLE WERE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO EXERCISE THEIR FREEDOM TO VOTE, in more than 30 states in the union, the people always reconfirmed that marriage was only between a man and a woman as the Creator had intended. So our sweet loving manipulators, using beautiful words and slogans to mask their deep seated egoism and very destructive goals, maneuvered to put in their cohorts in key positions in the government and in the courts, while we were asleep with various pleasures and pastimes, so as to force the redefining of marriage from the top down, not “of the people, by the people, for the people”.

“No man can serve two masters…” (Mt 6:24; Lk 16:13)! Journalist and novelist G.K. Chesterton observed, "When people stop believing in God, they do not believe in nothing. They believe in anything."

"WE THE PEOPLE", is one of the most-quoted sections of the Constitution and of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. President Abraham Lincoln, at his famous “Gettysburg Address” in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on November 19, 1863, said: … “that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Let us not pervert and destroy our country by changing Lincoln’s words to: “that government of the government, by the government, for the government”! Our precious and wisely written United States Constitution begins with the words: “We the People”! We must not let these ruthless conceited bureaucrats interpret this God-inspired document as: “WE THE GOVERNMENT”! This was precisely the reason for the American Revolution!

Even most of the so-called CATHOLIC SPOKESMEN for the Tea Parties, who should know better, ARE SILENT ABOUT THE REAL CAUSES of the meltdown and the destruction of our country and of our society as a whole. Upon his farewell address to the nation, GEORGE WASHINGTON tried to impress upon his fellow countrymen that it was “Religion and Morality” that served as the foundation for our young nation. Without the foundation of Religion and Morality that George Washington and the other founding fathers provided for us, there is simply no real hope for the future of this country.

According to Mr. Webster Tarpley, in his book, “Obama, The Postmodern Coup, The Making of a Manchurian Candidate”, OBAMA WAS RECRUITED over 25 years ago by Zbigniew Brzezinski, as a student at ColumbiaUniversity, to be groomed as the president to succeed George W. Bush in 2008. In 1970, Brzezinski had recruited Jimmy Carter, the then unknown governor of Georgia, to be president in 1976, and foster the plans of the oneworlders; Obama is now his latest recruit for the completion of this plan for a world government.

As we sin more and pray less, we give more power to the forces of evil who then use this superabundance of power and money to promote even more sin and the destruction of religion, thus accelerating their goal of total domination. VERY SOON WE WILL SEE A MORAL AND CIVIL AVALANCHE INTO THE DEPTHS OF CHAOS, AS HENRY KISSINGER PREDICTED! (www.independent.co.uk/.../henry-kissinger-the-world-must-forge-a-new-order-or-retreat-to-chaos-1451416.html). Guess who will be waiting for us with the jail keys, or rather a microchip, thus making the entire world one giant prison!

Rockefeller asked Aaron Russo: “WHAT DO YOU CARE ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE, what difference does it make to you? Take care of your own life; do the best you can for you and your family. The rest of the people they don’t mean anything to you; they’re just surfs, they’re just people.” Aaron Russo explains how September 11, terrorism, “women’s lib”, invasion of Iraq, were all used to push toward their One World Government. The chemtrails have already been sprayed all over us; our new loving world dictators have prepared well!

These super rich, like Rockefeller, think and operate like most people who called themselves “Christians”. 100,000 die every day of hunger? 20,000 of them are children. Jesus does not exaggerate! Read chapter 25:31-46 of the Gospel of Matthew; this represents the FINAL EXAM for each of us, not just for Saint Francis or Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta or some other “saint”. Blessed Mother Teresa’s motto was: “You did it to Me”, “the least of these my brethren” (Mt 25:40). The Gospels are for everyone, but most “Christian” Americans consider their money as theirs rather than considering themselves as stewards of God’s money for the benefit of everyone. THIS LIFE IS EXTREMELY SHORT COMPARED TO ETERNITY! (“Letter To Sister”; http://spir-food.blogspot.com/2011/09/letter-to-sister.html).

Just as the Nazis saluted “Heil Hitler” and the Romans saluted “Hail Cesar”, so too the world leader, soon to reveal himself (“Shortly The Enemy (Antichrist) Will Take International Contact”; http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa08eng.html), will demand all to deny allegiance to any other God but himself, the Antichrist. But even when the world markets are crashed and all are offered the microchip as a solution, I believe that it will be imperative not to take the microchip even at the beginning even if at the beginning the denial of Jesus Christ is not required. Later the chip can be very easily deactivated or used to track dissenters. God the Father revealed to MARGARET OF JESUS (Revelations to Margaret of Jesus: http://markbeast.blogspot.com/2009/04/margaret-of-jesus.html):

“I am the Father! And My children must not give ear to any plausible argument they might offer in order to make them put on such a “device”. No! I say, no! My children! It would be to deny me as Father! It would be to agree to the voice of the "Beast"! Listen to My heartfelt appeal, refuse immediately their command, which will have the goal of being able to control all of you, to have you all as “human hostages.” No, do not do that! That would be a true disaster for you, because MY ANGELS WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE YOU AS CHILDREN OF GOD. … REFUSE IT, REFUSE IT, REFUSE IT!” (April 27, 2004). … “THE FATHER IN PERSON REVEALS that the "mark of the beast” is the "micro-chip" (Rev 14:9-10).” (http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/microchipeng.html).

Since VERY FEW HAVE HEEDED THE MESSAGES OF FATIMA to pray everyday the Holy Rosary and make many sacrifices, the superrich go forwarded unimpeded. If we obey our Mother of Fatima, the hands of the superrich are virtually tied. God respects our freewill, and thus has withdrawn his protecting hand, as He did so often in the Old Testament with the people of Israel!

Lies and Camouflages; Powerful Gay Activism

MANY PSEUDO CHRISTIANS TELL US ONLY THE ONE SIDE OF THE TRUTH that Christ forgave sinners such as the prostitute, but they do not ever mention that Christ also said to the prostitute: “GO AND SIN NO MORE” (Jn 8:11)! Jesus, as should all Christians, loves the sinner but hates the sin. The liberals refuse to recognize this distinction so as to justify their condemnation and growing persecution of true Christians who LOVE the people who have a tendency toward homosexuality but HATE the ACT of homosexuality. Even the gay activists are not too happy with those who steal their car! But how can Godless people believe in sin if, according to them, God does not exist? With conscious and continual effort, they have rejected God out of their consciences and lives. These so-called “HATE CRIMES” will soon be the driving force to destroy the family, marriage and deprive us of our religious freedom supposedly guaranteed in the first amendment. As history shows us, it will end up in outright persecution and the slaughtering of true followers of Christ! These secular humanists are like children who shout at their loving parents: “Stop loving me; get out of my life”; they do not want to respond to love, and what little love they think they have is lost (Mt 13:12).

Of course they will try to make the true martyrs, in particular in this great period of persecution, seem as the bad guys, the ones to be eliminate. “They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me” (John 16:2-4).

“We cannot fight credibly against other social moral evils, including poverty and violence while we tolerate mass killings by Abortion” – BLESSED MOTHER TERESA OF CALCUTTA.

THESE CLEVER MANIPULATORS OFTEN USE THE FALSELY APPLIED “SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE”! Why are we not allowed to “separate” this heinous government propagation of a very disordered and destructive lifestyle from our dear children in our public schools?!? The homosexual agenda has been carefully crafted and packaged to change the way Americans think about homosexuality. First they claim to be a victim. Then they cry for tolerance when actually their goal is acceptance, legitimacy and the stifling of decent. THE ARGUMENT IS REFRAMED so that there are only two positions: that of the reasonable tolerant person and that of the stifled bigot. A closet is by no means a suitable place to live, but to abandon it only to force people of faith into it is NOT TOLERANCE.

To read more in detail how the world’s elite are using the gay activists for their diabolical agenda, read: “37. The Astounding Impact of the Ruthless Manipulation of Militant Gay Activists!” (http://markbeast.blogspot.com).

Our grandparents of our traditional “old time religion” remembered the words of Jesus Christ: “Truly, I say to you, it shall be MORE TOLERABLE on the day of judgment for the land of SODOM AND GOMORRAH than for that town” (Mt 10:15). If this is the promise of Christ for one town, what will happen when homosexual acts are promoted and protected and encouraged by governments around the WHOLE WORLD, in particular in the rich countries?!?

GOD THE FATHER: “Place your soul in the Heart of Jesus and oppose yourselves to all that which goes to the detriment of the family (Gen 1:27-28; 2:24). What kind of instruction can a son of two women have! Where is the father? A son of two men! Where is the mother? How does that son grow up? Poor world! Sodom e Gomorrah were less sinners with respect to the contempt and to the enemy influence present now in all of creation. No, children, it is enough to joke about these things! How you are lowering yourselves to touch the dirt, and only there, will you realize who you are imitating and aping: YOU HAVE MADE THE ASTUTE SERPENT (GEN 3:1) YOUR FATHER, AND OF IT YOU HAVE NOT YET BECOME AWARE! Let’s go children, straighten up the head and look on high, that God listens to you and trembles for you”. (June 18, 2006; http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticimondo0607eng.html).

An insurgent war comes from a breakdown of law and authority, from a revolution of protest of being against something without being for anything. Robert Sangster wrote about insurgent war in which is needed: 1) minute men for a protest; 2) the followers, the hangers on; 3) the more dangerous ones, the hard core, equipped with electronic loud speakers to manipulate the masses.

Rev. Joseph M. Esper wrote about the “Five stages of persecution” in his book, “Spiritual Dangers of the 21st century”:

1) The target group is stereotyped or stigmatized making it an easier target for bigotry, slander or abuse. 2) The group is marginalized, or pushed out of the mainstream of society, by efforts to reduce its moral authority and influence. 3) The group is vilified – viciously attacked and blamed for society’s problems. 4) The group is criminalized through the use of increasing legal restrictions upon its membership and activities. 5) The group experiences outright persecution.

Esper indicated that in the USA we are entering number 4.

WHICH SIDE OF THE FENCE?

If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a liberal is homosexual, he demands legislated respect, protection and the legal rights to propagate this unnatural and destructive life style.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced. (Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!)

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his.

WHY IS THE PROMOTION OF ABORTION AND THE HOMOSEXUAL LIFESTYLE SO IMPORTANT to these arrogant puppets of Satan? It is amazing how the proud world manipulators realize the importance of promoting the greatest sins of the culture of death in order to more quickly achieve their goal of becoming world dictators while the great majority of Christians do not! “For the sons of this world are wiser in their own generation than the sons of light” (Lk 16:8). The “sons of this world”, those closest to Satan, know better than the great majority of Catholics the great power of the Most Blessed Sacrament, and thus they systematically work to destroy profound reverence, humility and faith before the Divine Person in the Eucharist so as to nullify the graces that could be received from the summit and source of the Christian life.

Jesus revealed to GLORIA POLO the following (“The testimony of Gloria Polo” in the church in Caracas, Venezuela, May 5, 2005, can be found at: http://testimony-polo.blogspot.com/):

“The devil, with his malefic strategy, has brought humanity to the point of killing their own children. Now I understand the reason why I lived in continual bitterness, depression, always ill tempered, ill-mannered, with ugly ways of doing things, with a bad face, frustrated with everything and with everyone. Of course! I had transformed myself, without knowing it, into a machine to kill babies, and for this reason I was sinking ever more into the abyss. Abortion is the worst of all the sins (those provoked, not when it is spontaneous), because to kill the children still in the womb of the mother, to kill a little innocent and defenseless creature, IS TO GIVE POWER TO SATAN. The devil commands from the depths of the abyss, because we are scattering innocent blood! A baby is like an innocent lamb and without stain… And Who is the Lamb without stain? It is Jesus! In that moment, THE BABY IS THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF JESUS! The fact that it might be the mother herself to kill her own child, determines a profound bond with the darkness, permitting that more devils from hell might come out to destroy and strangle humanity. It is as if one might OPEN THE SEALS… Seals that God has put to impede evil to come out, but that, for every abortion, it opens… And so horrible larvae come out, so that there are more and more devils… They come out to chase and persecute humanity, and then make us slaves of the flesh, of sin, of all the bad things that we see, and we will see always more. It is as if we might give the key of hell to the devils, to let them escape. And so escape more devils, of prostitution, of sexual aberrations, of Satanism, of atheism, of suicide, of indifference… Of all the evils that we see around us. And the world is getting worse every day… Think how many babies are killed every day: it is all a triumph of the evil one! That you might know that for the price of this innocent blood, THE NUMBER OF DEVILS OUTSIDE OF HELL GROWS; they circulate freely in our midst! Let us take shelter! … We sin without even realizing it! And our life transforms itself into an inferno, with problems of every type, with sicknesses, with so many evils that afflict us; all of this is the pure and simple action of the devil in our life. But it is we, we alone, that open the gates of evil, with our sin, and we permit him to freely circulate in our life. It is not only with abortion that we sin! … But it is among the worst sins. And then we have the nerve to blame God for so much misery, so much disgrace, so much sicknesses and so much suffering!...”

After years of hidden work by these culture destroyers, we have arrive to the point that the condition of a pregnant woman is considered a disease and the remedy must be paid for by unwilling taxpayers! Pope John Paul II already told us that in the richer countries of the world there is already predominantly present the culture of death! LIFE IS NOW CONSIDERED A DISEASE; DEATH IS NOW CONSIDERED WELL BEING, at least the death of those that get in the way of their egotistical lifestyle. “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!” (Is 5:20-21). They USE NICE SOUNDING WORDS AND PHRASES like “freedom of choice”, “women’s productive rights” (code word for contraception and abortion!), “there must be protection for both the life and health of the mother”, “universal access to reproductive health”, “sexual and reproductive health and rights”, “family planning and reproductive health” programs to “combat” poverty in “least developed countries”!” They say they want to combat poverty in least developed countries, but when these egotistical activists are confronted with the reality that their programs and policies cause the women in China and so many other countries to kill the babies that they want to keep, as well as causing so many women to being used and sold as slaves for profit and for the pleasure of egotistical men, they are forced to admit this truth, but they stubbornly continue their death policies by taking refuge in the false myth of overpopulation. “The Overpopulation-Population Control Movement Struggles to Stay Relevant”; (http://www.lifenews.com/int1384.html; http://www.overpopulationisamyth.com/). How many human rights abuses are committed in the name of "family planning," which are counter-productive social and economic paradigms premised on the myth of “overpopulation” (www.pop.org)?

Pending Chastisement

OUR LADY AT AKITA, JAPAN TOLD US IN 1973: "As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms that will remain for you will be the Rosary and Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the pope, the bishops, and the priests."

"The work of the devil will infiltrate even the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their conferees…churches and altars sacked, the Church will be full of those who accept compromise and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of My sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them." (http://www.miraclerosarymission.org/akita.htm).

On September 15, 1993, at Tokyo Japan, on the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, the Mother of God told Fr. Stefano Gobbi:

“I now announce to you that the time of the great trial has come, because during these years all that I have foretold to you will come to pass. The apostasy and the great schism in the Church is on the point of taking place and the great chastisement, about which I foretold you in this place, is now at the very doors. Fire will come down from heaven and a great part of humanity will be destroyed. Those who will survive will envy the dead, because everywhere there will be desolation, death and ruin” (http://lasalettejourney.blogspot.com/2011/03/in-this-very-countryi-have-also-given.html).

Just as at Akita, Japan, these messages repeat to us that the “great chastisement” is directly tied to the “apostasy and the great schism in the Church” which is the Body of Christ!

On one occasion, Archbishop Fulton Sheen did not take his lunch offered on board an airplane because it was Friday, the day Christ died for our sins. The woman next to him said she would do the same. When Sheen commented: “Oh, are you also Catholic?” She replied: “No, I AM A WITCH, and I fast so that there might be more abortions!” It is too bad that those who follow Satan and those at the higher level who even worship Satan are not as forthright as this witch that responded to Archbishop Sheen, or as so many possessed people described in the Gospels! But today one of the most important strategies of Satan is to convince people that Satan and hell do not exist, and then to convince people that what they think in their little heads is reality! THE TYRANNY OF RELATIVISM!

SISTER LUCIA OF FATIMA SAID TO FATHER AGOSTINO FUENTES, the postulator of the cause of beatification of Giacinta and Francesco (December 26, 1957): “Our Lady is very displeased because it is not taken into account her message of 1917. Neither the good nor the bad have held them in consideration. Believe me my Father, the Lord will punish the world very soon; THE PUNISHMENT IS IMMANENT! Many nations will disappear from the face of the earth, many nations will be annihilated. Russia will be the scourge chosen by God to punish humanity, if we, with prayer and the sacraments do not obtain the grace of its conversion. The devil knows that the religious and priests, living less their beautiful vocation, drag many souls to hell. It is now the time to halt the punishment of Heaven. We have at our disposition TWO EFFICACIOUS MEANS: Prayer and Sacrifice. We do not want to frighten the souls, but it is an urgent appeal to reality. From the time when the Virgin gave such a great efficaciousness to the Rosary, there does not exist any material, spiritual, national or international problem that cannot be resolved by way of THE HOLY ROSARY AND BY OUR SACRIFICES. Our Lady expressly said: “We are nearing the end times”.

She said it three times:

First she stated that the devil has engaged in a decisive battle.

The second time she repeated that the last remedies given to the world are: the Holy Rosary and the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The third time she said that, the other means exhausted and despised by men, HE WILL GIVE WITH TREMBLING THE LAST ANCHOR OF SALVATION WHICH IS THE MOST HOLY VIRGIN IN PERSON, signs of tears, messages of several seers spread in all the parts of the earth. Our Lady said that if we do not listen and if we still offend we will not be pardoned. Father, it is urgent that we realize this terrible reality. We do not want to fill the souls with fear, but only it is urgent a recall to reality. From when the Holy Virgin gave such a great efficaciousness to the Rosary, there does not exist any material, spiritual, national or international problem that cannot be resolved with THE HOLY ROSARY AND WITH OUR SACRIFICES. To recite it with devotion will be to consol Mary and to wipe away so many tears from her Immaculate Heart.”

Sister Mary Gabriel in purgatory told Sister Mary of the Cross (1880): “Those who promote the recitation of the Rosary everywhere deserve praise. It is this prayer that is the most efficacious in the present time of need.” (http://purgatory-manu.blogspot.com).

GOD THE FATHER: “We are ever more approaching a period of disasters be it economical, be it destruction of the peace. Because very soon you will hear to speak about imminent war, but THIS WAR THAT IS TRIGGERED WILL NOT BE TO FIND PEACE, but it will be destructive for man and for every Nation.” (October 2, 2007; http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticimondo0607eng.html).

It seems now that Obama is preparing the world for what he plans to do in the next step of the well planned strategy for world domination.

WHY IS IT SUCH A HIGH PRIORITY FOR OBAMA, using Planned Parenthood, TO PROMOTE ABORTION AND THE CULTURE OF DEATH IN THE PHILIPPINES, one of the last countries on the plant that it is still against the law to murder babies in the womb? The U.S. is not the only country that will be affected by the presidential election this year. (“Obama and the Philippines”; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKpxToe8XIc; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9yVmd99qDw). We Americans deserve Obama; we voted for him; but the poor people in the Philippines? Kissinger clearly indicated that Obama has been chosen as the head of the New World Order!

Many Hebrew scholars indicate how Jesus would have pronounced Luke 10:18 in Aramaic: “And I saw Satan as Baraq U Bam-Maw.” DID JESUS GIVE US AN INDICATION IN THIS VERSE ABOUT THE IDENTITY OF THE ANTICHRIST? As Gloria Polo put it: “Abortion is the worst of all the sins (those provoked, not when it is spontaneous), because to kill the children still in the womb of the mother, to kill a little innocent and defenseless creature, IS TO GIVE POWER TO SATAN.” One must discover who Obama is, not by the convincing words and shrewd rhetoric enhanced and efficiently and effectively propagated by the highly controlled mass media, but by his fruits. His fruits indicate that the promotion of the culture of death is more important than destroying the US economy so as to force the US under the New World Order. (http://markbeast.blogspot.com). But one is not able to recognize good or bad fruits or even resist the aggressive agenda of world domination if one does not have a substantial daily prayer life seeking to do God’s will and not ones own. This is precisely why the first priority of the world manipulators is to promote sin and destroy true religion.

But what Rockefeller and his rich buddies forgot is that “THERE IS NO HONOR AMONG THIEVES”! Few of these arrogant world manipulators realize who is really in control, Satan! And even these who adore Satan, totally believe his lies. “I, Sister Faustina, by the order of God, have visited the abysses of hell so that I might tell souls about it and testify to its existence. I cannot speak about it now; but I have received a command from God to leave it in writing. The devils were full of hatred for me, but they had to obey me at the command of God. What I have written is but a pale shadow of the things I saw. But I noticed one thing: that most of the souls there are those who disbelieved that there is a hell” (Diary: 741; http://www.saint-faustina.com/Diary/DMIMS15.shtml). Even many bishops have swallowed this lie (http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?id=2879).

Perhaps those at the very top of the hierarchy who worship regularly Satan realize who is in control. In hell, Satan is the cruelest dictator that exists! Thus in the end, even here on earth, THEY TOO WILL HAVE TO TAKE THE MICROCHIP TO SURVIVE. The beast “causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name” (Rev 13:16-17).

IN OUR SLIDE FROM ALTRUISM TO EGOISM, the idea of the “common good” is now only applied in a perverted way to the elite, the wealthy and powerful. The weak and undesirable, according to the very numerous egotists, must be eliminated as Planned Parenthood promotes following the inspiration of its founder, Margaret Sanger, who collaborated with Hitler in their idea of ethnic cleansing. “But I see that some souls are like stone, always cold and unfeeling. Even miracles hardly move them Their eyes are always fixed on their feet, and so they see nothing but themselves” (Diary, 1284).

God the Father: “Oh, they will cover the face in order not to see, but the scales from the eyes of all will fall, and they will have the truth before themselves! Foolish and unwise children, corrupted by all the wicked cleverness of the enemy, they are like sheep at the slaughter and they do not realize it! It is not the contempt of the Sacred, it is that they do not want to know anything about “Christian Rules”! THEY PROFESS TO BE CHRISTIANS, BUT THEY ARE NOT, IF THEY CONTINUALLY TRANSGRESS THE CHRISTIAN BASICS. Hypocrites and false are all those who transgress and continue to declare themselves “true Catholics”! No, my children, the condemnation they are inflicting by themselves and there are no alternatives: either with Me, God the Father, or against Me, and thus with Satan, prince of so many corrupted souls. Do not inflict your faults on others, it was your choice, and to you is due the judgment of condemnation!” (June 8, 2006; http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa0507eng.html).

It is true that it is much more difficult to follow Christ today being surrounded by a culture of death permeated by a type of “Christophobia”. But as Lucia of Fatima told Father Fuentes: “From when the Holy Virgin gave such a great efficaciousness to the Rosary, there does not exist any material, spiritual, national or international problem that cannot be resolved with THE HOLY ROSARY AND WITH OUR SACRIFICES.” Thus, those who prayer with all their heart to love and do God’s most holy Will will be given much more help today. Those who do not pray will be swept much more quickly into the lies and falsehoods of the “father of lies”. This is why the promotion of grave sins and the destruction of true religion is the first priority of Obama and his comrades.

THE WORD “FREEDOM” HAS BEEN TOTALLY PERVERTED to freedom from the truth instead of freedom for the truth! (Evangelium Vitae; Pope John Paul II).

The Prophetic Encyclical “Humanae Vitae”

MANY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, INCLUDING RUSSIA, ARE OFFERING MONEY TO ENCOURAGE FAMILIES TO HAVE BABIES; THEIR ECONOMIES ARE RATHER QUICKLY DYING. Perhaps for the first time in history, at least in the richer countries of the world, there are more grandparents than babies. Even though widely rejected in 1968, the encyclical “Humanae Vitae” was prophetic. The youth are beginning to wake up to the truth, but already the foundation of destruction has been laid by their parents. Many youth realize that they could have been legally slaughtered in their mothers womb! The U.S. is actually becoming more and more pro life, if for no other reason than the fact that pro lifers consider babies as a blessing from God and thus have more babies; these babies generally continue to live the values of their parents! There is a pro life increase each year of about one to two percent because people in the pro choice camp have very few babies!

Many of our Catholic priests and bishops, after the Second Vatican Council, began to promote a NICE COMFORTABLE CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT THE CROSS of Christ while redefining “love” as what pleases the people motivated by human respect. One of the first questions we learned as children in the catechism was why God made each of us: To know, love and serve God and to be happy with Him in heaven for eternity. The majority of Catholics today have totally reversed this answer and live as if religion exists not to help us discover and do God’s holy will, that is to serve Him, but to serve ourselves! People normally do not like to make an act of humility even before God and thus many priests and bishops yielded to the desire of the people to use the Holy Mass for what suited the people rather than helping the people to discover and do what God intended for the Mass as explained by the documents of the Church. Thus the fundamental importance of maintaining profound reverence and humility before the infinite God in the Eucharist was lost in most parishes. A striking parallel example of Catholics seeing the Eucharist not as the divine Person but only as a sacred thing is when men began to see women as objects instead of persons to love, especially after the invention of the “pill” in 1960 as pointed out above! The marriage act was separated from life, from responsibility. This objectification of women was clearly prophesized in Humanae Vitae (1968)! (“Prophecies of Humanae Vitae”; http://pop.org/201003231196/prophecies-of-humanae-vitae).

Many priests, “for love”, tell parishioners to not worry about Humanae Vitae; you have already suffer enough. Or we are told that Jesus loves us as our brother, so don’t worry about lots of chatter in church, before the tabernacle. Is this not FALSE LOVE. Is this not like the shepherd giving kisses to the sheep as the wolf take away one sheep at a time because the sheep were not warned about the lies and falsehoods of the wolf.

The great majority of Catholics, including large numbers of priests and bishops, ignored or openly dissented from the Encyclical, Humanae Vitae. At least objectively speaking, they fell from grace! Catholic theology teaches that three conditions must exist for the commission of a mortal sin: 1) Grievous matter; 2) Sufficient reflection; 3) Full consent of the will. According to the Vicar of Christ, IT IS GRAVE MATTER to “not adhere to the teaching of the Church on a number of questions, notably sexual and conjugal morality, divorce and remarriage”; a central example here is the encyclical Humanae Vitae and the use of artificial contraception. Whether there is sufficient reflection or full consent of the will, only God knows. But as Blessed Newman explains, if a person “deliberately entertained and pursued his doubt”, this person has already lost the faith by the nature of the case. These people became arbiters of the Truth, of good and evil, just as our first parents, Adam and Eve did (Gen 3;4-5). MANY ADULTS CRITICIZE THE YOUTH OF TODAY, but I tell them that we adults formed the world the way it is today. The youth are not stupid; they realize that most of their parents reinterpreted the 10 Commandments and the Gospel according to their own convenience and at the same time convinced themselves and others that they are good Christians. Most of these adults, after years in this condition of not seeking the truth, do not have the humility to admit their sins and make a good confession after they might be confronted with the truth. Most of the youth just took this same logic of hidden egoism a few steps further, more out in the open! If marriage is basically for egotistical pleasure without the responsibility of nurturing life, the gay activists are right!

After the very widespread dissent and rejection of Humanae Vitae (1968), many continued to go to Mass and receive the Holy Eucharist for various personal motives of self interest, but since their lives did not correspond with Who they were receiving, the Truth, Christ crucified in their lives, they not only committed the great sins of sacrilege (1Cor 11:27), but THEY LOST THE FAITH IN THE REAL PRESENCE of the divine Person in the Most Holy Eucharist, the source and summit of the Christian life!

SIXTY YEARS AGO IT WAS HARD TO SHOP AROUND and find a priest that helped people to doubt the teachings of the Church, in particular on sexual and conjugal morality, divorce and remarriage. Now it is rather easy. A priest or bishop today who is in union with the pope suffers much more today. “The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their conferees…” (http://www.miraclerosarymission.org/akita.htm).

It takes humility and true contrition to be able to admit a grave sin according to the criteria of God explained by His Church, especially after many years of using the pill. And then to find priests to say this is all OK… THE ONES WHO GIVE SCANDAL AND THE SCANDALIZED BOTH END UP IN THE SAME PLACE if there is no true repentance before death! St. Ignatius of Antioch in regards to those who give scandal wrote: “Such a wretch in his uncleanness is bound for the unquenchable fire, and so is anyone else who gives him a hearing” (Office of Readings, Week 2, Monday). There is no excuse for one who most happily finds a priest who encourages doubt and disobedience to the teaching of the magisterium of the Church, “notably sexual and conjugal morality, divorce and remarriage”; both go to hell together.

WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OF A DOCTOR WHO CARED NOTHING ABOUT DISEASE, who does not want to talk about disease? You have a problem and your doctor discovers you have a serious disease but is fearful of upsetting you and so he sends you home and says do not worry, everything will be alright! What would you think of a doctor like that? He is a quack, an incompetent, with gross professional negligence. He would be sued for malpractice. But the priest is the doctor of the soul. If he does not diligently study the writings of the documents of the Church and of the Vicar of Christ because he does not want to upset the people who are habituated to using artificial contraception and other grave sins, it will be too late to sue him after one is dead and in hell with this very negligent priest for all eternity! So many priests today do not talk about the one thing that can kill the soul, mortal sin! Few people even think about eternity! A few saints said that if one does not think about eternity, one lives as a blind man!

PRIESTS WHO DO PREACH THE WHOLE GOSPEL, and not just the comfortable parts of the Gospel, are labeled ridged and old-fashioned, insensitive, lacking in compassion, divisive, judgmental. At the same time the ones who maintain a culpable silence, the ones who tell their people what they think they want to hear are seen as understanding, sympathetic, pastorally sensitive and merciful.

Many offer misguided compassion; they do not want to hurt the feelings of others. They want to make everybody feel good and happy at the expense of the Truth. But then tomorrow there are the consequences! Truth is Truth! As they say: “You can’t fool mother nature!” But more importantly, you cannot fool the One who created the whole universe and each one of us.

God told the PROPHET EZEKIEL: “If I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, BUT YOU WILL HAVE SAVED YOUR LIFE” (Ezek 33:8-9).

Our Lady of Fatima told the three children: “MORE SOULS GO TO HELL BECAUSE OF SINS OF THE FLESH than for any other reason.” At Fatima, the Blessed Virgin Mary told the three child seers that many souls go to hell because they have no one to pray or make sacrifices for them. In her Memoirs, Sister Lucy describes the vision of hell that Our Lady showed the children at Fatima: (http://www.fatima.org/essentials/facts/hell.asp).

The HHS Mandate

NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE US HAS THERE BEEN SO MUCH DISUNITY CREATED BY A PRESIDENT. Never has there been so many lawsuits against a president. Is Obama a man of unity or disunity. Does Obama believe that he was elected to serve the people or to manipulate and lead the people, in a hidden covert way, where they do not want to go? The one true God is a God of unity, unity in freedom (Jn 17:11, 20-21, Jn 8:32), not forced unity as in hell, or under a dictator! Read about the incredible violation of our First Amendment rights by the HHS mandate! “This mandate from the federal government is completely new and far more coercive than anything that existed before, which is precisely why the government is dealing with the broad-based outrage it is currently facing,” (http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/ewtn-files-suit-to-block-contraception-mandate/).

FATHER SAMMIE MALETTA delivered a Homily at St. John the Evangelist Parish in St. John, Indiana. This Homily addressed how President OBAMA IS THREATENING OUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM and declaring war with the Catholic Church. No one sums it up quite like Father Maletta. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltTd81XpDnc&feature=youtu.be).

It is interesting that THE HHS MANDATE WILL ONLY AFFECT TRUE CHRISTIANS, at least for now, who have the moral strength to be able to make great sacrifices to not commit a grave sin according to their consciences well formed by the one true Church, not by so-called Catholic politicians. Thus it is precisely calculated to close down groups (without waking up too many people) which are truly leading souls away from the eternal abyss such as so many Catholic and Christian groups including EWTN and many other groups which truly seek to discover and DO the holy will of God, and not just give lip service to religion or to God. The great majority of so-called Christians will not be willing or be able to make sacrifices to go against the ever more powerful dictatorship of the US government because, like bad athletes, they have not worked out daily in the fundamental spiritual exercises of substantial daily prayer and living the Gospel and the Ten Commandments according to God, not according to their comfortable interpretation. When Pope Paul VI issued his prophetic encyclical, “HUMANAE VITAE” (1968), there was an incredible negative reaction not only on the part of the laity who wanted to enjoy the pleasures of sex without any responsibility or openness to life by using artificial birth control, separated the conjugal act from life, but even on the part of a great number of priests and bishops, even entire Episcopal conferences (e.g., the ‘Winnipeg Statement’ of the Canadian Bishops)! BEFORE 1930 ALL MAINLINE PROTESTANT DENOMINATIONS were in accord with the Catholic Church that the use of artificial birth control was a grave evil and a serious sin. When the Anglican Church changed its stance in 1930 (Lambeth Conference) the other protestants churches quickly followed suit while Pope Pius XI reaffirmed the Church’s constant teaching on this grave evil in his encyclical Casti Cannubii (1930).

BEFORE 1960, it was against the civil law in most states and countries to buy or sell artificial birth control. The people understood then the damage the contraceptive mentality does to the relationship between husband and wife and thus to the family, the fundamental cell of society. People instinctively knew that each must make some sacrifices for the common good. But now, there is no more concern for the common good and we have gone to abortion, euthanasia, playing with human embryos, Sodom and Gomorrah… We have opened Pandora’s box with pornography, contraception, abortion, euthanasia, …. Regarding America's acceptance of abortion, the late Catholic apologist and Servant of God, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, predicted, "If we don't stop the destruction of life, we'll come to midnight. That is nuclear war, in which there will be A TOTAL DISREGARD FOR LIFE." Behold the culture of death as it is in hell!

Many people want to live comfortable, mediocre, lives and convince themselves that all is OK now and after death, if they still believe that life after death exists. But after death, whether we believe it or not, there are only two place for all eternity for our immortal souls: extreme joy and happiness with God in heaven, or extreme pain and total separation from God in hell. There is no middle place for the mediocre! God wants our whole heart and He will help us if we ask Him in sincere humble prayer. “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” (Mt 19:26; Mk 10:27). God did not say love your God with 80% of your strength, …, but “with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Lk 10:27).

It is interesting that OBAMA STAYED AWAY FROM THE TOPIC OF HOMOSEXUALITY BEFORE THE ELECTIONS in November 2008 because he knew how most Americans feel about this issue. Despite the powerful hammering and brainwashing of the mass media on this issue, the Americans, when given a chance to vote, have voted consistently to not undermine the most fundamental cell of society, the family, by redefining marriage and family according to these secular humanists. But slowly, at the right time, Obama and his new world order colleagues feel they can now come out more boldly in pushing forward their diabolical agenda without causing too much of a reaction among the people who have been led away from God and toward. Thus on January 20, 2012, they felt they could force the HHS mandate without causing to much of a reaction. It is rather amazing to do such a thing in an election year. But since Henry Kissinger has indicated rather clearly that Obama has been chosen as the head of the New World Order, they have all the cards in their hand by now to lead or force the US under the new world dictatorship. The last viable piece on the chess board that resists total relativism and the culture of death is the Catholic Church.

Obama and company are VERY ATTENTIVE TO THE PULSE OF THE MORAL FIBER and strength of the American people so as to know exactly how far and how fast they can push their agenda of death forward without waking up too many people. They have tested the waters and they have a great variety of options to use after years of bringing into their global network the most materially powerful people and groups on the face of the earth today! This is why Obama can more and more govern as a real dictator as he is revealed on January 20, 2012 in the HHS Mandate.

The Loss of Faith In The Eucharist

Dr. Scott Hahn, Professor of Theology and Scripture at Franciscan University of Steubenville (http://www.scotthahn.com/), said a simple statement that struck me the more I thought about it. He said that the crisis in the Church began when Catholics began to see the Eucharist as only a SACRED THING and no longer as the DIVINE PERSON! Perhaps this seems like an explanation too simple or even naïve! But we so easily forget that the source and summit of our Christian life is the Eucharist (See: Memoriale Domini; http://www.ewtn.com/library/curia/cdwmemor.htm).

Jesus told St. Faustina: “Oh, how painful it is to Me that souls so seldom unite themselves to me in HOLY COMMUNION. I wait for souls, and they are indifferent toward Me. I love them tenderly and sincerely, and they distrust me. I want to lavish My graces on them, and they do not want to accept them. THEY TREAT ME AS A DEAD OBJECT, whereas My Heart is full of love and mercy. In order that you may know at least some of My pain, imagine the most tender of mothers who has great love for her children, while those children spurn her love. Consider her pain. No one is in a position to console her. This is but a feeble image and likeness of My love” (Diary, no. 1447).

“I desire to unite Myself with human souls; My great delight is to untie Myself with souls. Know, My daughter, that when I come to a human heart in Holy Communion, My hands are full of all kinds of graces which I want to give to the soul. But souls do not even pay any attention to Me; they leave Me to Myself and busy themselves with other things. Oh, how sad I am that souls do not recognize Love! They treat Me as a dead object.” … “THE COLDNESS OF SO GREAT A NUMBER OF SOULS” (1385). “My daughter, write that it pains My very much when religious souls receive the Sacrament of Love merely out of habit, as if they did not distinguish this food. I find neither faith nor love in their hearts. I go to such souls with great reluctance. I would be better if they did not receive Me” (1288). “Today I learned whith what aversion the Lord comes to a certain soul in Holy Communion. He goes to that heart as to a dark prison, to undergo torture and affliction” (1280).

“THE LOSS OF EACH SOUL PLUNGES ME INTO MORTAL SADNESS…” (1397). Human beings are given the chance to “fill the places vacated by the ungrateful angels” (1339). But so many human beings do not know or want to know “the malice of sin and the ingratitude that is contained in it” (1334).

Archbishop Fulton Sheen said that whenever there is a falling off in the faith of our Catholic people it will always be seen first IN REGARD TO THE EUCHARIST, to their devotion to the Eucharist. And he proves this from the Gospel of St. John, chapter 6, when Jesus talked about the bread of life. Jesus promised to give it to the people. He said My flesh is real food and My blood is real drink. Many of the people who had been following Him walked away. The bishop points out that Jesus also lost some of His disciples that day and even lost one of His Apostles. When the crowds were walking away and some disciples walking away, Jesus did not run after them as so many politicians, but he turned to the apostles and said will you believe Me too? And Peter said, Lord we have come to believe in You; You alone have the words of eternal life. And then Jesus said, did I not choose all twelve of you, but one of you has a devil. Bishop Sheen points out that He is referring to Judas who did not believe in the teaching of the Eucharist. Today we hear that many Catholics do not believe in the real presence. But to be a true Catholic, we have to believe this; it is a major teaching of our Church. We must hold on to our faith in Jesus in the Eucharist and practice it by praying often before the blessed sacrament, going to Mass faithfully, receiving Him devoutly in Holy communion.

Jesus: “YES, THE COMMUNION IS DIRECT CONTACT WITH GOD: JESUS EUCHARIST LOVE! Are you ready to receive Me with the white gown, purified and cleaned from all the sin that has darkened the view of the whole Truth, and [that] it makes you become opaque and grey. Re-clean yourselves from the ‘grime’ and make to shine your soul! May there be an effort to believe that in that Host there is God and he loves you. But I wait for you clean and purified: do not partake of the Eucharist remaining in sin, it is something grave, very grave! It would be to put the ‘wax’ in order to seal a writing, and put on it the mark of belonging to Satan!”. (December 12, 2006; http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa0507eng.html).

The Tyranny of Relativism

In his homily at the Mass preceding the conclave that quickly elected him Pope Benedict XVI, then Cardinal Ratzinger said that "relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and ‘swept along by every wind of teaching,’ looks like the only attitude [acceptable] to today’s standards." HE WARNED: "WE ARE MOVING TOWARD A DICTATORSHIP OF RELATIVISM WHICH DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ANYTHING AS FOR CERTAIN AND WHICH HAS AS ITS HIGHEST GOAL ONE’S OWN EGO AND ONE’S OWN DESIRES." (http://www.ignatiusinsight.com/features2005/colson_relativism_may05.asp)

Today so many have put themselves in the place of God by deciding by themselves that abortion and so many other sins against the 10 commandments and against the revelations of God are OK! A great number of church goers today use religion for their own personal motives and desires or even to justify or camouflage their un-Godly, subtly and hidden egotistical behavior rather than to use religion to seek, to discover and to DO THE WILL OF GOD, which always entails a certain amount of suffering and self-denial. They say in the Our Father “Thy will be done”, but only if it is “my will”. Many Christians come to church to feel good and holy, to satisfy themselves, but not to satisfy the ONE who gave them everything they have, Who died for them! Most Christians want to consider themselves “good Christians”, but the great majority of Christians “ALL LOOK AFTER THEIR OWN INTERESTS, NOT THOSE OF JESUS CHRIST” (Phil 2:21). So many Christians today give lip service to God, but they do not trust God, and therefore they do no want to discover His holy will for each of them. God loves each of us personally and immensely and His will for each of us is by far the best thing for us, but few trust Him as a child because God’s will is always tied to self-sacrifice and suffering while we are here on earth. When such a person dies, Jesus will say: “You cannot spend eternity with Me in paradise because you made up and lived by the truth according to yourself; you did not seek the truth outside of yourself in My creation and above all in My divine revelation explained by the Church, with the Rock, that I left you, the Pope.”The Truth inevitably leads us to the cross which our culture has rejected as anathema.

St. Faustina wrote in her diary: “Suffering, persecution, abuse, disgrace. It is through all this that my soul becomes like unto Jesus. And the greater the suffering, the more I see that I am becoming like Jesus. This is the surest way. If some other way were better, Jesus would have shown it to me. Sufferings in no way take away my peace…” (1394).

Pope John Paul II (among many other occasions) spoke firmly to the US bishops against this "PICK AND CHOOSE SMORGASBORD TYPE CATHOLICISM" in LA in his September 1987 visit: "It is sometimes reported that a large number of Catholics today do not adhere to the teaching of the Church on a number of questions, notably sexual and conjugal morality, divorce and remarriage. Some are reported as not accepting the Church's clear position on abortion. It has also been noted that there is a tendency on the part of some Catholics to be selective in their adherence to the Church's moral teachings. It is sometimes claimed that dissent from the Magisterium is totally compatible with being a “good Catholic” and poses no obstacle to the reception of the sacraments. This is a grave error that challenges the teaching office of the bishops of the United States and elsewhere. I wish to encourage you in the love of Christ to address this situation courageously in your pastoral ministry, relying on the power of God's truth to attract assent and on the grace of the Holy Spirit which is given both to those who proclaim the message and to those to whom it is addressed"; taken from the address of Pope John Paul II to the bishops of the United States in Los Angeles on September 16, 1987 (http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/speeches/1987/september/documents/hf_jp-ii_spe_19870916_vescovi-stati-uniti_en.html).

These are words that most Catholics do not want to hear! The Vicar of Christ is saying that dissent from the Magisterium is totally incompatible “with being a “good Catholic” and poses an obstacle to the reception of the sacraments”! That means, grave, mortal sin!

BLESSED JOHN HENRY NEWMAN, in his “Discourses To Mixed Congregations” (the Anglicans and the Catholics), said that one must not come to the Catholic Church unless one intends to accept all of her teachings on faith and morals. “And so again, when a man has become a Catholic, were he to set about following a doubt which has occurred to him, he has already disbelieved. I have not to warn him against losing his faith, he is not merely in danger of losing it, he has lost it; from the nature of the case he has already lost it; he fell from grace at the moment when he deliberately entertained and pursued his doubt” (http://www.newmanreader.org/works/discourses/discourse11.html).

This also applies to those who willingly embrace the easy way of not seeking to discover the truth. “IGNORANCE IS BLISS”; perhaps they think they will have bliss today, but not tomorrow and especially not after death! At death, out of love, God will confirm the choice of freely choosing ignorance of the Truth, and thus the soul will be separated from the Truth, Who is God, for all eternity! Pope John Paul II, when ask, about a year before his death, for one verse in the Bible to leave the people of God, he responded without hesitation: “The Truth Shall Set You Free” (Jn 8:32), precisely because he knew well that most people today totally immersed in relativism, do not want to take the risk of having to change their lives and suffer. What the world does not tell us, as well as so many leaders in the Church due to human respect, is that true love means respecting our great dignity, being created in the image of God (Gen 1:26-27) and thus RESPECTING OUR CHOICE, OUR FREE WILL. If God showed us even a tiny instant of heaven or a tiny glimpse of hell, we would no longer be free to say NO to the Truth (big “T”), to God. Love means respecting this primordial gift of our great dignity (Ps 8:5), and thus respecting our freedom which is also accompanied with a tremendous responsibility for ourselves and for those over whom we have been given responsibility as parents, priests, bishops, civil authorities, etc. Here on earth we are surrounded by God, even those who do not want the Truth (big “T”). But if a person rejects the Truth all his life without repentance (sacramental confession for Catholics), when he dies, he discovers that the Truth is God, as Jesus told us: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father, but by Me” (Jn 14:6). The greatest pain in hell is the total separation from God which is a pain far worse than all the fires and pains put together. Here on earth, whether we believe it or not, we are surrounded by God’s loving providence. The greatest joy in heaven is to see God face to face! “No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love Him” (1Cor 2:9)!

RELATIVISM IS LIKE ACID RAIN; IT IS AS IF THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG. You have your way of looking at it, I have my way of looking at it. “Different strokes for different folks”; until of course someone steals your car. Then you may not think that it is irrelevant. Then the truth matters because you want your car back. There is an objective morality. Pope John Paul II was applauded during his United Nations speech (October 5, 1995) as long as he was talking about global ethics; but as soon as he got down to individual ethics, the people developed hearing problems. MORAL RELATIVISM HURTS EVERYONE, YOU CANNOT AVOID IT; IT IS LIKE THE ATMOSPHERE. (http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/speeches/1995/october/documents/hf_jp-ii_spe_05101995_address-to-uno_en.html).

Sometimes people cast license in kind of civil libertarian terms. I have a right to do what I want with my own body, I have a right. SO WHATEVER I FEEL, I HAVE A RIGHT TO DO. AND ANYONE WHO DENIES THAT RIGHT IS AN OPPRESSOR. Now whether that works with civil libertarians and lawyers I do not know. But that was the trust of the Pope’s teaching in Veritatis Splendor on a kind of aberrant notion of freedom. Freedom is a great thing. And if our journey in life is not free, it is not worthy of the human being. But freedom can be an unguided missile unless it is grounded in the truth and geared to the good. And that is why we have to link the good and the true. And that is the importance of human freedom.

There is a civil notion of freedom which is, we have enough laws in the state and Church, and when there is no law, there is no obligation, there is nothing, then I am free. You are probably in free fall, not freedom.

The Pope teaches beautifully: You never stand as tall as when you bend down to help someone up. Pope John Paul II quoted often from Gaudium et Spes (24; http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_cons_19651207_gaudium-et-spes_en.html): “Man, who is the only creature on earth which God willed for itself, cannot fully find himself except through a sincere gift of himself”. So when we freely chose to fulfil a duty, a worthwhile obligation, we are not degraded, we are not less. You are most a human being, in the fulfilment of good goals and worthwhile things, which is probably the direct opposite of secular individualism, namely I am free when no one tells me anything. But that is almost as if we are not brothers and sisters, we are not connected. This is tragic.

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYBODY KNEW THE ANSWER OF THE QUESTION IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS: “AM I MY BROTHER’S KEEPER” (Gen 4:9). I used to be a rhetorical question. Everyone knew the answer. Today, if you ask certain people am I my brother’s keeper, some of them are going to say that I think I have to think that over. And that means that you are some kind of an autonomous, radical individual who has no responsibilities. And that is a perverted notion of freedom. Both in Veritatis Splendor when the Pope goes at it very thoroughly as a philosopher, but also in the Gospel of Life, Evangelium Vitae, he says that attitude of radical individualism is what is facilitating the culture of death. Because what happens not just with the unborn, but with the elderly. We start to look at other people not as a brother or sister but as an intruder; they are cramping my freedom, they are stifling my life style, they are crowding me.

So the elderly are like aliens to be protected against. This is obscene. But it is all that perverted notion of freedom. And the correct notion, when you freely fulfil worthwhile goals and responsibilities, you are not lessened.

Probably the clearest example is the Blessed Virgin Mary; she said yes to God and God “has done great things” for Mary (Lk 1:49).

The Great Default of Religious Leaders

OUR LADY AT GARABANDAL (1965) revealed that "many cardinals, many bishops and many priests are following the road to perdition, and with them they are taking many more souls.” Contrary to common belief, the Catholic Church has never condemned Garabandal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garabandal_apparitions). I once told my parishioners that if sometime in the future I begin to loose the faith and to preach in opposition to what the Pope teaches on faith and morals, “do not follow me to hell”! “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed” (Gal 1:8)

So often the HOLLYWOOD STARS try to use their position in the mass media to promote the culture of death. It was very interesting during the “Sanremo” festivities here in Italy (Feb. 14, 2012), which is similar to the annual Hollywood festivities in California, that a very well known singer and actor, ADRIANO CELENTANO, while on the stage of Sanremo gave to millions of Italian watchers a little homily! He said: “What I cannot stand is Priests and religious who never speak about the more important things and the motive for which we were born… They never speak about heaven as if each person was born only to die…”! (http://tv.liberoquotidiano.it/video/105307/Adriano_fa_la_predica_ai_preti_e_a_Avvenire.html). I doubt if Celentano will be given the chance to speak next year!

SO MANY DO NOT TRUST IN GOD OR HIS VOICE ON EARTH, the Church with the Vicar of Christ, but they trust in themselves. They do not want to even consider that the God, Who they say is love, asks us to suffer with Jesus on the cross in order to arrive to true happiness and peace and joy here on earth and then to the resurrection of the living. They say “it is OK for Jesus to suffer horribly on the cross and die, but not me!” “But we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1Cor 1:23-24). If these so called Christians are obstinate in seeking to avoid at all costs the sufferings that Christ crucified shares with them in their lives, perhaps to be coherent and not hypocritical, they should join a religion that espouses the same belief, such as Buddhism!

OUR CULTURE OF DEATH HAS CONVINCED US THAT THE (CONVENIENT) TRUTH IS FOUND IN OUR OWN HEADS, not outside of our heads where a person of good will could find the Truth with a big “T” in divine Revelation. But the Creator of the universe has implanted His law in the very fibre and fabric of creation and nature, that there is no resurrection without the crucifixion, there is no Easter Sunday without Good Friday. Those of us who daily pick up our crosses and follow our crucified Lord, with His help, and then try to communicate this fundamental deception of Satan and the culture of death, are ridiculed and scoffed at today and in the end will be killed to silence the voice and testimony of the Truth. There are many religious leaders who have been given by God a tremendous calling as priests and bishops who tell the people that it is ok to avoid suffering at all costs, even in the name of “love”. For so many, human respect is more important than respect for God and His will and the salvation of souls.

“How can one be pleasing to God when one is inflated with pride and self-love under the pretence of striving for God’s glory, while in fact one is SEEKING ONE’S OWN GLORY?” (Diary of St. Faustina; no. 1139, 1149, 1170, 1440).

To fight in a battle, is it not prudent and necessary to know not only your own weapons, tactics and strategy, but also the weapons, tactics and strategy of the enemy? It was recounted to Pope John Paul II that the Vatican's chief exorcist, Father Gabriele Amorth, “knows too many bishops who do not believe in the Devil”. The Pope replied bluntly: “ANYONE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE DEVIL DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL”. When Amorth was asked “What do you see as Satan’s greatest success?”, Amorth replied: “The fact that he has managed to convince people that he does not exist. He has almost managed it, even within the Church. We have a clergy and an Episcopate who no longer believe in the Devil , in exorcism, in the exceptional evil the Devil can instill, or even in the power that Jesus bestowed to cast out demons. … And they no longer believe in the Devil. We have entire Episcopates trying to counter exorcism. We have countries completely devoid of exorcists, such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal. This is a shameful shortfall.”; (http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?id=2879). We go on the spiritual battlefield with a pistol and the enemy has a canon, because so many generals (the bishops) and captains (the priests) told us that the enemy does not exist!

The Encroachment Of The Culture Of Death

POPE JOHN PAUL II TALKS ABOUT THE ENCROACHMENT OF THE CULTURE OF DEATH. In the beginning of the “Gospel of Life” he speaks of the conventional standard where we respect people for what they are, namely, made in the image and likeness of God, which requires respect, generosity and service. But we are moving to a standard of usefulness, efficiency and functionality. That is different. Even people who do not like the pope, no one has said that his analysis is wrong. Obviously if it depends on how efficient you are, how productive you are, the unborn do not stand a chance. But the other end of life, the chronically ill and elderly sick are also going to be in big trouble. If our supreme court comes down on the wrong side of that, we are in big trouble. Because everyone who is alive escaped the abortion tragedy. But everyone who is alive is a candidate for euthanasia. Our rights come from God, but in our lack of diligence, we have let the state convince us that our rights come from the state and thus the state can take away these rights or change the category of human beings to be eliminated. If you said this 20 years ago people would have thought you are crazy. Here we are arguing about legalizing the termination of an elderly or a sick person. This is to pervert medicine from a caring, curing profession into a killing or dispatching profession. This is serious. At the end of his encyclical Evangelium Vitae Pope John Paul II suggests that we all have to make a contribution, whatever it is, to build up the culture of life. If we do not get this right on assisted suicide with the elderly and if we really cave in on same sex marriage, we are finished as a society. If we end up killing the little children and the older folks, and we cannot figure out the difference between marriage and an aberration, our days are numbered as a civilized society. “In order to know whether the love of God flourishes in a convent, one must ask how they treat the sick, the disabled, and the infirm who are there” (Diary, 1269). “In a suffering soul we should see Jesus Crucified, and not a loafer or burden on the community. A soul who suffers with submission to the will of God draws down more blessings on the whole convent than all the working sisters. Poor indeed is a convent where there are no sick sisters” (1268).

Pope John Paul II in his encyclical Evangelium Vitae (no. 67) calls “mercy killing” of the chronically ill and the elderly sick “FALSE MERCY”; IT IS MISDIRECTED COMPASSION, ASSISTED SUICIDE. Compassion means to suffer with someone, to pick up ones burdens. Mercy killing is when you do not want to suffer someone else’s burdens and you want to get rid of him. This is false compassion, and false mercy. It is the direct opposite of true compassion which means you should give a helping hand. You help shoulder a burden, even if one is only present to provide some comfort. The word “compassion” is the smoke screen for eliminating the chronically ill and the elderly sick. Because it sounds like you are being merciful when in fact it is a false mercy. (http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_25031995_evangelium-vitae_en.html).

I tell many lukewarm Catholics here in Italy that ONE MAY FEEL HE IS STRONG SPIRITUALLY so as not to deny Jesus (Mt 10:32-33); but they believe that the great crisis will happen after their death. But if a person does not at least (minimum!) go every Sunday to Mass, make regular frequent confessions, say the family Rosary everyday as our grandparents did, when Rockefeller and his buddies crash the market and offer all of us a microchip only if we deny Christ, so as to render us like animals and their slaves, these indifferent Christians, who have willing formed a conscience of convenience, will not be ready to die of starvation or even torture and death; they will spend all eternity with these ruthless world elite proud dictators.

So many have all their lives AVOIDED AND REJECTED THE VERY NUMEROUS INSPIRATIONS OF GRACE of the “Hound of heaven” to nudge them toward the Truth. But when they die they will discover that the Truth, that they avoided, thwarted and rejected all our lives, is God (Jn 14:6). They have made themselves little gods, as did Adam and Eve (Gen 3:4-5). But when we die, we will find out that there is room in heaven only for One God, not two. Everyone in hell willing swallowed the lie of Satan that we are gods! It is much easier to believe that there is not hell so that there are no consequences for our actions, no responsibility just as the animals without an immortal soul!

In this very difficult period of great temptation and apostasy, there will be a large number of people that are driven toward evil, and there will be some that will go toward the extremes of highest sanctity. WHEN TIMES ARE DARK as in the night, the STARS SHINE MORE BRIGHTLY! This period of the “great tribulation” will bring out the best and the worst. Perhaps in past centuries one could get by with Sunday Mass attendance and a few prayers. But now one will have to give one’s whole heart, soul and life to Christ, even to the point of refusing to adore the image of the beast, the antichrist, and die of starvation or be tortured and killed! One cannot straddle the fence any longer! “No man can serve two masters…” (Mt 6:24; Lk 16:13)!

But grace is not wasted as Jesus told Saint Faustina (Diary, 1294 find +++). “I have said that this would come to pass, particularly at the end of the world and indeed presently, because the Most high with his holy Mother has to form for Himself great saints who shall surpass most of the other Saints in sanctity as much as the cedars of Lebanon outgrow the little shrubs” (Montfort, 47; http://www.catholictradition.org/Mary/mary16.htm).

Graces not acted upon, by those who are not willing to change their life and suffer, will go to those of good will who are willing to change their lives and share a greater part with the crucifixion of the Body of Christ in this period, the Church.

The False Prophet

The super rich and powerful of today who control the banks and the petroleum and so many other things of the world, are not satisfied; they have had an incredible amount of patience, many of them never living to see their final goal achieved. It seems that they now have their representatives (puppets) in just about all the key positions in the world EXCEPT ONE. In their pride, these powerful people are dumbfounded and amazed that with all their tremendous efforts and power and wealth and even infiltration, they have not yet been able to put their man in as Pope. Obviously they do not believe in God or in the words of Jesus that “the gates of hell shall not prevail” (Mt 16:18). But surely “From some crevice, the smoke of Satan has entered the temple of God” (Pope Paul VI, June 29, 1972). Many learned Catholics believe that they will finally resort to violence (most likely covertly) when the opportune moment has arrived.

There are many indications that the FALSE PROPHET, the second “beast” (Rev 13:11-18) will be a TRAITOROUS CATHOLIC BISHOP OR CARDINAL. It was the learned opinion of the eminent, 20th Century scripture scholar, Father E. SYLVESTER BERRY, that in the 12th and 13th chapters of the book of Revelation, John foretells of an usurpation of the papal see by the false prophet of Antichrist resulting in great tribulations befalling the Catholic Church. Fr. Berry points out that it is the papacy which is the principal target of those who seek to establish the reign of Antichrist. Heresy, schism and the introduction of false worship upon the altars of Catholic churches are, thus, to be the direct results of the removal of the TRUE Pope from the See of Rome, and subsequent occupation of the Chair of Peter by the forces of Antichrist.

The ARCHBISHOP FULTON SHEEN, TV personality in the 50’s and 60 said: “The False Prophet will have a religion without a cross. A religion without a world to come. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit church. Christ’s Church will be one. And the False Prophet will create the other. The false church will be worldly, ecumenical, and global. It will be a loose federation of churches. And religions forming some type of global association. A world parliament of churches. It will be emptied of all divine content and will be the mystical body of the antichrist. The mystical body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot and he will be the false prophet. Satan will recruit him from among our bishops.”

Many Fathers of the Church wrote that the False Prophet would be a Catholic bishop who will become an INVALID anti-pope while the real Pope dies a cruel death in exile.

It is interesting that HILDEGARD of BINGEN(d. 1179) wrote that when the new Pope is elected immediately before the Antichrist, a cardinal will kill the elected pope before he is crowned through jealousy, he wishing to be Pope himself. Then when the other cardinals elect the next Pope this cardinal will proclaim himself (anti) Pope, and two-thirds of the Christians will go with him. She notes that this Antipope as well as the Antichrist are descended from the tribe of Dan.

It seems that Pope Benedict is encouraging us to read the writings and prophecies of this holy woman and mystic by canonizing her this year.

If this private revelation of Hildegard turns out to be true, is it possible that this Antipope, who will appear “IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE ANTICHRIST”, might be the FALSE PROPHET (the second beast) predicted in the book of Revelation (Rev 16:13; 20:10; chap. 13 etc.) who will work hand in hand with the first "beast", the Antichrist, to subdue the world, performing also miracles (Rev 13:13-15; 19:20)? Thus all of these authors indicate that sometime in the future there will be an INVALID, false antipope occupying the Chair of Peter. But as Christ promised “the gates of hell would not prevail” against the “Rock”, the true, VALID, living Pope (Mt 16:18).

Perhaps this could help explain what Our Lady at La Salette said on September 19, 1846, "Rome would lose the Faith and become the seat of the antichrist . . . The Church will be in eclipse." I would interpret this as when the true Pope is killed or driven from Rome. This seems to go along with what Our Lady told Sr. Agnes Sasagawa at Akita, Japan (October 13, 1973): "The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops” (http://www.ewtn.com/library/mary/akita.htm).

THE DEVIL REALIZES THAT MAN HAS AN INNATE NEED FOR RELIGION. Thus Satan does not try to eradicate religion but to offer a type of pseudo “Christian” or “catholic” religion “without a cross” as Fulton Sheen indicated. This pseudo religion being formed by Satan will also serve to gather as many worshipers of Satan, disguised in many forms, as possible. The Gospel tells us that the strong must help the weak. But this new religion will be the religion of the strong at the expense of the weak. “Satan Stalks Your Children - The Crime of the Nineties … THERE IS A RISE IN SATANISM, and satanic activity and satanic ritual murders. This danger is real and should not be ignored.”; (http://www.fatima.org/crusader/cr45/cr45pg27.asp).

“Remember this: when my son Peter will no longer be in power to guide the Church, then you will be very attentive in doing what they will ask you. There will be needed much discernment and letting oneself be interiorly guided and do not think too much about the ‘then’.” (January 24, 2002; http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa9902eng.html).

I believe that TWO OF THE GREATEST TRAPS AND CLIMACTIC DECEPTIONS OF SATAN FOR OUR TIME, besides sin and relativism in general, regards the “false prophet” and the “mark of the beast” which will take the form of the microchip! It is a great grace to recognize these eternally fatal deceptions. The Beast will be able to perform "signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect" (Mt 24:24; Mk 13:22; Rev 13:8; 19:20)! Of course the insidious and patient preparation by Satan for our destruction is very important to recognize. FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED!

Anniversaries of the Great Miracle of the Sun: October 13, 1917

EXACTLY 33 YEARS TO THE DAY prior to the great Miracle of the Sun in Fatima, that is, on October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a REMARKABLE VISION. When the aged Pontiff had finished celebrating Mass in his private Vatican Chapel, attended by a few Cardinals and members of the Vatican staff, he suddenly stopped at the foot of the altar. He stood there for about 10 minutes, as if in a trance, his face ashen white. Then, going immediately from the Chapel to his office, he composed the prayer to St. Michael, with instructions that it be said after all Low Masses everywhere. When asked what had happened, he explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of the altar, he suddenly heard voices - two voices, one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. As he listened, he heard the following conversation:

The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasted to Our Lord: "I can destroy your Church."

The gentle voice of Our Lord: "You can? Then go ahead and do so."

Satan: "To do so, I need more time and more power."

Our Lord: "How much time? How much power?

Satan: "75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service."

Our Lord: "You have the time, you will have the power. Do with them what you will."

The prayer composed by Pope Leo XIII is the following:

SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the Divine Power of God - cast into hell, Satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

On Sunday April 24th 1994, Pope John Paul II recommended this prayer to be used by all Catholics as a prayer for the Church when he said:

'"May prayer strengthen us for the spiritual battle we are told about in the Letter to the Ephesians: 'Draw strength from the Lord and from His mighty power' (Ephesians 6:10). The Book of Revelation refers to this same battle, recalling before our eyes the image of St. Michael the Archangel (Revelation 12:7). Pope Leo XIII certainly had a very vivid recollection of this scene when, at the end of the last century, he introduced a special prayer to St. Michael throughout the Church. Although this prayer is no longer recited at the end of Mass, I ASK EVERYONE NOT TO FORGET IT AND TO RECITE IT TO OBTAIN HELP IN THE BATTLE AGAINST FORCES OF DARKNESS AND AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF THIS WORLD."'

“The Infernal Anger Is Unleashing Itself From Perverse Minds Given To The Devil... Now It Is That All Will Rage. … I created them for Love, and they have become a disgrace for the brothers, THEY HAVE BECOME LIKE CHILDREN OF SATAN: YES, THEY IMPERSONATE SATAN!” (February 24, 2004; http://www.margheritadigesu.it/pagine/avvprofeticichiesa04eng.html).

THE DATES of Pope Leo XIII’s vision (October 13, 1884) and the final message at Akita(the 56th anniversary, October 13, 1973) CORRESPOND TO THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE GREAT MIRACLE OF THE SUN on October 13, 1917 at Fatima. It seems that JESUS WANTS TO GIVE VERY SPECIAL HONOR TO HIS MOTHER IN THIS CLIMACTIC PERIOD OF THE WORLD. Certainly, Jesus lives the ten commandments better than anyone else, in particular, the forth commandment! If God’s children do not honor the heavenly Mother that He gave them, will God the Father honor them during their life and after their death?

FATIMA'S PROPHETIC MISSION NOT COMPLETE, Pope declares on Solemnity!

Fatima, Portugal, May 13, 2010; 10:16 am (CNA/EWTN News).- At Mass this morning in the Fatima shrine's square, Pope Benedict said that it would be "mistaken" to consider the prophetic mission of the apparitions at Fatima complete. It continues to be relevant in that it continually invites men and women of good faith “to save the city of man,” he told the 500,000 people gathered for the feast of Our Lady of Fatima.

It seems to me that the Vicar of Christ is indicating that “the fulfillment of the prophecy of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary” will occur at the “centenary of the apparitions” at Fatima! To me this indicates that the Body of Christ, the Bride, will be purified before this fulfillment!

THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE WHILE WE ARE STILL ALIVE and willing to humbly respond to the graces and inspirations of God to make a good confession. After death our eternal destiny will be fixed for all eternity as it was for the angels in one instant after their creation (Diary, 1332). The two sins against the Holy Spirit which Christ said would not be forgiven are presumption (relativism) and desperation. Desperation is considered worse because it denies that even God can save me through His infinite mercy. Jesus told St. Faustina: "I desire that priests proclaim this great mercy of Mine toward the souls of sinners. Let no sinner be afraid to approach Me" (Diary, 50). “Let the greatest sinners place their trust in My mercy. They have the right before others to trust in the abyss of My mercy” (1146).

MANY FEEL THAT THEIR SINS ARE UNFORGIVABLE BUT, JESUS SAID, “Were a soul like a decaying corpse, so that from a human standpoint, there would be no hope of restoration and everything would already be lost, it is not so with God. The miracle of Divine Mercy restores that soul in full. In the Tribunal of Mercy (the great sacrament of Confession) ...the greatest miracles take place and are incessantly repeated." (1448) "Here the misery of the soul meets the God of mercy.” (1602) Every sin imaginable could be forgiven by Him!

“In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My merciful heart. I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so; My hand is reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. BEFORE THE DAY OF JUSTICE I AM SENDING THE DAY OF MERCY” (1588).

Speak to the world about My mercy; let all mankind recognize My unfathomable mercy. IT IS A SIGN FOR THE END TIMES; AFTER IT WILL COME THE DAY OF JUSTICE.” (848).

“The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of My sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer pardon for them." (October 13, 1973, at AKITA, JAPAN; http://www.miraclerosarymission.org/akita.htm).

As Sister Lucia of Fatima said to Father Agostino Fuentes, (1957): “Our Lady said that if we do not listen and if we still offend WE WILL NOT BE PARDONED.”

“SHORTLY THE OARS WILL BE PULLED BACK INTO THE BOAT AND I WILL LET EVERYTHING GO ADRIFT. You will then see what you will be able to do with only your own strength! Amen. Your God has spoken to you, daughter, and he has used you to still bring an admonishment for those who have not decided to return to Me. But soon I will no longer go seeking, I will watch until I will see that all have made their choice, then I will act”.

“May the seven years which separate us from the centenary of the apparitions hasten the fulfillment of the prophecy of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to the glory of the Most Holy Trinity”! Pope Benedict XVI, Fatima, May 13, 2010.
